My body is tired and my mind wont stop thinking.

How do you deal with this?

Its like I need hypomania to function.

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with your emotions right now MrMisdiagnosis.

Yes, when I am low, my body feels tired.

Make sure you keep your vitamins up. This is important. As is maintaining a healthy eating habit. It helps if you don't comfort eat (I'm not suggesting you personally do; but some do).

Try go for a short walk. Just to the end of the block.

Pamper yourself with one thing each day.

It doesn't have to be a big thing.

Read a magazine?

Have a bubble bath?

It doesn't matter how small.

But just remember that you need pampering too.

Take care of yourself please.

And remember that this too shall pass.

It always does.

Thanks, yea I try to do one good thing and although on the depressed side I try do what I must for the day.

Its just a matter of going through the motions, faking it til you make it and practicing self care and nurture. When the thoughts get too much I find distraction to be the best technique.

A screeching hot or cold shower is my go to if I need a jolt to at least get done what absolutley must get finished. Altho its 95% never pleasant ( shudder) it can work in a pinch.
