You know it’s autumn when you see: the ladybirds huddled up together, the sturdy stemmed Verbena bonariensis swaying in the wind, and the crispy colour-changing yellowy-orange leaves gracefully falling off of the trees… #autumn 🐞🪴🌬️🍂

I feel bad for admitting and saying this as there was so much suffering. 😢
But when we had to isolate during the pandemic, I managed okay. When in a bipolar depressive episode, I don’t go out or see anyone, live very basic etc.
So for once, I felt on par with everyone else, within my ‘normal’. 💭👤🧠

🍂🌬️ I know that many people will be dreading the colder months’ arrival and may even experience SAD.
However, I long for them…as my mood climbs. 🎭🎢
My bipolar comprises ‘summer depression/reverse SAD’, plus I struggle to regulate my temperature in the heat due to Venlafaxine. 🧠☀️🥵💊 #bipolar #autumn

I’m falling in love with the process. I may not feel that when badly depressed; but I do when stable/hypomanic/manic (the latter of which I’ve recently had confirmed and now recovering from. I appreciate the wisdom acquired from managing the ups and downs of my bipolar; and life.

#Recovery sure isn’t linear I just hope #bipolar isn’t as progressive as the stats/research say. But I’m more than happy with having better periods of mild hypomania and stable/balanced mood (rare) versus severe depressive episodes and mod-severe hypomania. It’s a journey! 💭🧠🎢

I can completely relate to this although my goal posts shifted so are much smaller in width than conquering the world & usually equate to getting out of my bed & making it!

To overcome addiction/misuse, it’s vital to find alternative interests/pursuits; to build structure & filter out the negative, toxic substance, stimuli & associated people for a healthier lifestyle, with positive people.
Essentially, you replace the drug with - a new lifestyle.

‘How parental presence shapes how our kids brains get wired.’
Showing up is simple yet hard - & as a parent & in business it can be challenging. Being present is often the difference between success & failure in life. But when do we ever remain in the moment, available & ready?

Christmas was really wobbly for me this year. If we didn’t normalise that some of us find it tougher, I’m not sure where I’d be. A medley of reflecting 2019, family dynamics, expectation, self-hatred, stress, estranged family contact, isolation, ruminatinghappier times & a virus.
