I have bipolar disorder type 2. For the last three weeks I have been miserable, but today I started to feel better again. That seems to be my pattern. Three good weeks followed by three bad weeks. I wish I wasn’t so up and down, but I am getting better at managing my depression so I am able to function even when I don’t feel well. I also try to manage my highs because if I don’t sleep much I end up crashing hard. Who here has bipolar and what are some tips you use to manage your mood? Oh, I also started drinking Reishi Mushroom Tea a week ago. It’s supposed to be good for depression and it also has some spiritual effects. I decided to take it because I felt as if I was in a spiritual depression and my soul was rejecting the physical world. This is hard to explain. Can anyone relate to this feeling?
