I read this interview of a guy with bipolar disorder saying that he meditates and journals daily to stay grounded. Anyone tried? Does it help?

Hi @Idunnoanymore

How are you doing today?

Meditating and journaling seems like a great way to manage your thoughts. Let me tag a few members who may be able to share if they use these tools.

Do you journal? How do you stay grounded? What tips can you offer other Carenity members?

Take care,

@LizziB Sometimes keeping a journal helps with dealing with your condition and what steps you applied to conquer your condition.

@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!🍀
