You hear that saying take it one day at a time well some days I take it one minute at a time. I no longer schedule multiple things a day I also try to plan out my next day the night before but when I get up in the morning I now look at the next couple of hours not a day or days. It helps with some of the overwhelming days I had in the past. I am a little more relaxed now.
This all started cause of a motorcycle trip I had planned for this last summer. I had all these things planned and decided to put a bunch of stuff till the next day and it was very overwhelming for me I got up at 4 in the morning to start my work and instead I spent most the day crying and I had planned on canceling this trip then I called my mom and she told me to stop doing everything and just relax and I did. I went on this trip, but it turned out way different than I had planned. Instead of planning my trip, turn by turn, and stop by stop I did it completely different. I got on my bike at about 2 pm and hit the road. The original miles planned for this trip was like 1500 miles turned into over a 3000 miles trip. I had planned on going to some motorcycle races and never made it and never looked back. On this trip I would get to a area and pull up the map on my phone and see where I was then if something looked interesting I went there. This was literally a turn by turn trip. I coved more of N.W. Washington then I had ever planned lol.
Don't get me wrong I still suffer from my depression, grief and mania but taking it one hour by hour has helped me with feeling overwhelmed. I still have bad days and I still have my problems but doing this has helped me out some. I also still get overwhelmed but some days I am able to stop what I am doing and think it through and sometimes that helps me calm down.
Sorry for carrying on yes I am a little manic but so far today no anxiety problems with all that sleep I got yesterday.
