I am bipolar and the structure of my day is essential to stay somewhat stable.
I am very disciplined concerning food. I always have a schedule what to eat and when. I enjoy food despite the fact I mostly eat healthy food. I am scared about poverty and not being able to afford that pleasure anymore.
I always go to bed the same time. As a bipolar person my sleeping rhythm is very important.
I always take my medication at the same time so that I don't forget them. Since I take them I have improved I cannot imagine to live with the life quality from the time without medication. I know there are many sceptics concerning medication but they have helped me. But I don't deny they can have bad side effects.
Before I go to sleep I listen to sad music and write in this forum. These things help me to calm down. Without them I am more prone to mania.
In the morning I enjoy a hot coffee when I wake up. I love the taste of this certain coffee. I watch a lot of Youtube after I woke up and enjoy freetime usually. I noticed that I am more vulnerable when I don't take breaks. And they are more healthy for me when I take them before and after my sleep. As I said the sleep rhythm is decisive.
I also have a time period when I want to be productive. And usually I am productive during that time period.
I hope I could help anyone with this thread and give some ideas.
I think it is important to reward yourself if I you did something to improve. Sometimes small steps combined during a long time period can also have a big impact.
