It usually works good for my for psychosis, and my bipolar mood states, mania and depressive episodes. I haven't been fully manic in a long time and that's probably something to be thankful for because I always did stupid stuff whenever I was manic. I kind of miss the mania though, mainly the ideas, planning, energy, excitement. Just not the impulsive recklessness.

I think I just haven't been managing my anxiety well lately. I need to cut caffeine out completely. I hate to do that but I can't tolerate it. My anxiety is bad without it I certainly don't need 3-6 ups of coffee a day on top of it. Increase exercise, exercise more frequently, use meditation since it used to help me a lot. Get reconnected with my faith, which helped ground me and gave me a lot of happiness and comfort when I was more connected and into it. I don't care whether it's real or not. I believe God, I'm Catholic but am kind of lax in how I practice it because there are several things in it I don't agree with but many of the central faith things I do. I believe there's nothing wrong with gay marriage, etc things like that don't bother me. There are other things I disagree with but I love the faith itself and the history. Another thing is I don't think there's anything wrong if anybody believes in anything else.. I just kind of feel like if you're a good person and do what's right then that's fine, believe whatever brings you peace, happiness, etc. So maybe that's why I kind of fell off going to church and stuff because I feel like sort of a fraud.
