I would appreciate any helpful links for any of the above. As mentioned in another post I have not found a provider in this forest (irl) who is helpful. . I would find some links (etc) people have found to be good/helpful/useful very helpful

This is a quick and easy 7 minute yoga session. She has some longer ones too if you search Yoga for Stress/Yoga with Adriene. I like her shorter/easier videos as I'm just getting back into yoga and anybody can do them

This is a binaural beats video, if you have headphones. I'm not sure their efficacy, but I find them helpful

I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but it's what helps me and I thought I'd share.

Hi Fuzzybear. The website at Connecting Skills seems to have a good outline of DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) skills. It looks like if you click on the underlined categories (i.e. Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance Skills, etc.) it leads to even more detailed information. Some skills are more relevant to bipolar disorder than others, but many people with bipolar disorder also have issues in categories not specific to bipolar.

You didn't ask for CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) skills details, but I have found many to be especially useful to me. DBT is sort of categorized under the CBT umbrella, but the whole of CBT offers even more. The website at Cognitive-Behavioral Coping Strategies provides a good overview, again with titles being hyperlinks to more detailed information. At this website, there are even hyperlinks to more info on breathing techniques and progressive muscle relaxation. They're not tools that I usually use (though I know others love them), but the rest are. As a bonus CBT tool, you can find a printable Automatic Thought Record at https://cbtiofsocal.com/wp-content/u...ght_Record.pdf I have found this to be an invaluable tool over the years.

Hi Fuzzybear. I just added one more tool to the end of my post above. The Automatic Thought Record. Under the "Situation" column of that pdf, it asks about an unpleasant thought, but the Automatic Thought Record can also be used for thoughts during elated hypo/mania. For example, instead of asking "What led to the unpleasant thought?" One could rather question possible "too good to be true" thoughts, as well, if one has some minimal amount of insight into a hypomania or mania. I've used that when a therapist/psychiatrist, or even my husband, has urged me to do a reality check, of sorts. They've sometimes led me through the process of completing an Automatic Thought Record.
