I'm at my 2 days of " good days" which usually follows a manic episode and then a crash. How do I keep this streak a healthy one?
Most important is to stay on medication if you are prescribed any.
Use coping skills still: even if your doing well, it helps you to stay feeling accomplished & like you're taking care of you're mental health.
Take time for relaxation:
Even 15 - 30 minutes can help keep you calm & focused.
If you have a spiritual background study your scriptures & make use of prayer.
All this has helped me very much in managing my manic moods.
Hope you find this helpful.
Stay in prayer daily and just take it one day at a time ๐นโฅ๏ธ
Nap is 30 minutes or less after 4 hours of sleep previous night. Believe me, I'm not sleeping too much; still under the recommend 6-8.
Not a good idea Darcy. Sleeping too much gives you insomnia.
Sleeping is an issue. I do try & take a nap during the day.
