What I meant by the stop it.
WE can't stop being bipolar. but we can stop obcessive thoughts by doing something different, start thinking about something else. focus your energy on something new that might catch your interest, play with a pet if you have one, go out side and look at the beauty of nature, reach out to a friend whom may need a comforting shoulder, be honest with yourself and know that you are doing the best that you can be doing right now with the tools that you have.
Know that you can handle what ever comes your way.
You are a powerful person and not a victim of bipolar.
Does this make sense?
