Yes, that makes sense. The idea was whether this can be prevented to some extent with practice like that. But of course, at some point it may be that only medication helps or at least it makes dealing with things easier, and so it s more effective. |

I think mania can be more easily caught early than depression/anxiety can. At least for me. The trick is in not getting swept up into the (hypo)mania before the episode is too far gone. __________________ |

Having the same doctor since my diagnosis even if that means paying out of pocket at times.

My injection. It has leveled me out to more manageable swings and psychosis. It doesn't take them away at all but it's kept me out of the hospital.

My self care is pretty complicated, requiring a balance of meds, preventing stress, setting boundaries, avoiding toxic people but not isolating, prioritizing lists for discussion with professionals, etc. However, I think that regular exercise is best when start to get in trouble and as a vital part of my routine. Walking a mile every other day with the pooch now until the gyms are safe to restart water aerobics. Heard there is a chlorine shortage here, tho. That could be a huge problem for me.The Silver Sneakers program was paying for gym memberships before covid for seniors. Online exercise classes and machines just dont work for me. Good topic.
