@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀

Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Explaining bipolar disorder to those around us isn’t always easy. Mood swings, withdrawal, or bursts of energy can be hard for others to understand, and even harder to talk about.
👉 How have you approached conversations about your condition with your loved ones?
👉 What tips or strategies have helped you communicate better and build understanding in your relationships?
