Dealing with PTSD and Bipolar 1: Seeking Advice

Im in the same boat... my diagnosis came as a shock and I still don't know or understand it that well. I think there's a lot to learn from others with similar diagnosises or trauma, but it's a journey to find those people. The one new coping method I've found may sound silly: watching a movie for just one hour or less a day, so it takes several days to finish. ive found it gives me something small but consistent to look forward to without taking alot of time or attention, which one symptom of ptsd for me is an shortened attention span. I hope that is something you feel like you can try!
