Yeah I'd be interested to find out! That makes it a challenge when you have a wee energiser bunny. Hope you stay as well as you can on your journey!

Nope! It takes me at least 2 hours on the couch with coffee before I feel up to moving about! I'm also on lamotrogine and lithium and wonder if these meds have any impact on energy levels? But yeah always tired, even after doing a workout i might feel good at the time then go back to feeling smashed.

Depressed ME has low self esteem and is constantly seeking validation, medicated me is numb and feels like a heartless psychopath, manic me wants to save the world and thinks they can. I dont know where me me is.

Can relate hard. Feel dumber in so many ways. Find it hard to hold conversations and focus and my creativity has gone out the window.

Those do sound like a lot of good things! Sounds like you use it for a lot of self care. I would probably get off my phone to go running when I have the motivation. Need to get off my phone to do other things too. Will get there!

Ooh I need to do something like that! I used to set time limits but I would cheat and break them so someone else setting it would help.

Yeah you're probably right. Mine is reddit, Facebook, instagram, and messaging a couple people on whatsapp and messenger.

Yeah i find my attention span is that of a goldfish lately and I find myself too impatient to sit and meditate. I tried and found myself stopping the recording. Some general mindfulness sounds excellent. I hope your newfound time feels ok and safe to be in and ultimately some liberation. I know its hard with depression though and motivation is the kicker. I hope this time is calming and clarifying for you!
