1 daily wins. Every day I list something that was a win. Can be big or even just "I had a nice cup of coffee today" helps me see more balance in my life and not just focus on the negatives 2. Practice self soothing daily 3. Actively work on not isolating, be a better friend and ask for support if I need it 4. Be on top of my meds and my treatment plan!! Go to every appointment and be brutally honest

1. Mindfulness-its cliché now, but still true. Being mindful in the moment, appreciating and acknowledging the here and now. 2. Music-i don't think I would get through a day without some kind of music. The rhythm, the melody, the harmony, the lyrics all help me to express myself and regulate my breathing when I sing along. 3. Marijuana-helps keep me even, not too hyped, not too anxious, not too down, just right. My own personal goldie locks zone. I just noticed that's 3 Ms...hmmm.

1. Cannabis to halt the autistic meltdown so it’s ONLY bipolar episode (also makes psychosis more mild if applicable) 2. Talking to someone who understands. Best way to quell intrusive thoughts imo 3. If nothing else, SLEEP. Can’t be losing your mind if you’re asleep 4. Kratom is also pretty good at ending episodes, but that’s a little more controversial so take that with a grain of salt 🤷🏻‍♂️ Inbox is always open 💜

1. Laughter, somehow and someway - even if it's an internal giggle. I would recommend a podcast called "tastebuds". Joe derosa is a great comedian. 2. Meditation!!!! With the constant anxiety, it helps to relax my mind and body for even 5 minutes while I meditate. 3. Helping other people, here on this app. At least trying to help really gets you out of your own slump and helps bring you into a better place while bringing someone else to a better place at the same time.
