The closer it gets to the end of the year the more I want to finish projects I've started and just in general finish more things. Not sure if this is related to #bipolar or just a personality thing. It doesn't help that Eric loves nothing more than laying in my lap any time I start working with yarn.

#bipolar and #mentalhealth peeps - I'm curious as to what your favorite #selfcare activity is. I usually go for #knitting - something I try to make time for every day. I also find other creative outlets to be a huge help with stress, and make a bigger impact than something like taking a bubble bath. (not knocking that - just not my thing) So what's your fav? 🤔

It never ceases to amaze me how much one small change in medication can cause big ripples in the pond. I stopped taking lithium because the kidney doc said it was too hard on my kidneys after 16 years; psych doc agreed. Mentally I'm doing great, physically not so much. I don't have the constant thirst anymore so I'm literally drying out, and that's making my blood sugar go up and my eyes are becoming more resistant to treatment for glaucoma. Fascinating AND frustrating. #bipolar #mentalhealth

Psych doc appointment this morning - no changes in my meds, so yay. I had been stable for quite a few years and then had to stop taking lithium due to kidney issues. So far, so good. I would not have made it this far without the support of an amazing psych doc and therapist in addition to supportive family and friends. I wish everyone who has a mental illness could have the kind of support I have. I want y'all to know that it CAN get better and you CAN be ok. ❤️ #bipolar #mentalhealth

Getting ready for a day of self-care and yes, it will involve Dog Blossom 🌸 #mentalhealth #bipolar
