+mania and depression

but I've only been dealing with the depression lately because I'm on Haldol too and that works for the psychosis and most of the mania

STOP is an acronym. S stands for Stop. I.e., stop what you're doing. This could just be mentally, but physically stopping can be helpful too.

T stands for take a step back. Take a step back from what you're doing. This could also be in the form of taking a deep breath or something of the like to distance oneself from the situation/emotion at hand.

O is observe. Observe the situation, observe the emotion, observe whatever is going on in the present moment.

P is proceed mindfully. This doesn't need much explaining, but proceed in the way that feels right to you.

(Keep in mind this isn't verbatim DBT but just my interpretation of it).

Sorry for the late reply, Stop is a good one. I also like the opposite action one. Where like instead of doing the unhealthy behavior your inclined to do when in emotion mind to do the opposite of it. Like instead of isolate, go outside and socialize some. Instead of staying up late, go to bed at a reasonable time, instead of binge eating when sad or anxious or stressed eat something healthy and nutritious that’s beneficial for your body, instead of procrastinating on something you need to do (cleaning etc) get up and start doing it. Basically just doing the healthy opposite of your emotional urges. I find that one very helpful too.

If you’ve got a good size dish you could make Apple Crumble.

We have it loads with home grown apples.

I know you can in the microwave like one chopped apple at a time
Not sure they’ll make it in the oven I think they would dry out and possibly burn in th oven without butter

Okay yeah I was being a little paranoid last night. I still am convinced they're going to arrest me, but I facetimed my friend and she said I seem genuinely unwell and encouraged me to take my PRNs and not think about the W situation (which I did). She, my therapist, and my mom think I should voluntarily go IP before I hurt myself or someone else again. Idk though.

And my hair is pinkish-purple now!

Hello, been 2 days without caffeine (48 hours) I miss coffee so much right now though lol

Anyway, spent a couple hours watching anime and playing the yugioh card game with my bf over video chat today. Was a lot of fun.

Tomorrow I’m going to the food pantry to get some stuff to get me through till my Foodstamps come in on Wednesday.

Trying to feel grounded/not dissociated. I tend to dissociate most often in the late afternoons. Not sure why.

A lot of my dissociation stems from worrying about my apartment being clean enough. Probably from growing up with my mom and being homeless with her and bouncing around from place to place as a child. So I’ll see something I think isn’t perfectly clean and it triggers the dissociation due to worrying about being kicked out. disconnecting from my body and feeling like I’m floating above myself and feeling extremely spaced out.

I hate people not understanding me. It's so difficult. So many people are so narcissistic or without empathy.

When I talk to someone new, they look down on me (For something weird I said - Or that doesn't make objective sense) - And it makes my heart beat fast, so I avoid the situation.
Thanks for this!
