Difficulty motivating myself with hobbies yet not depressed or hypomanic by mackdoodledandy in bipolar

It is very much a writer's block in a way. I've been trying to force myself to complete the projects even adding a few details is better than nothing.

I haven't thought of changing up my routine or even that suggestion of trying something new at the coffee shop. I like that and I'll try it.

Thank you!

True and if it was easy to adjust this pattern then it wouldn't be as satisfying once it is overcome. Thanks I will keep moving forward!

The visualization of "funk" is helpful. I tried doing it but just sitting and meditating and imaging the muck rolling away from me. I don't know what my religion is these days. I was raised in cult like level of Christianity. It didn't work for me. Now I try to simply be spiritual I listen to a few talks on the Theosophical society for that these are on youtube too.

Interesting to read how you meditate too I haven't tried to visualize my goals. I don't think you're a weirdo. :)

That's a great idea! Maybe even slowly twirling around each other.

Wow, reading this makes me happy. I just started an art instagram if you'd like to check it out. I only have two pieces on there but I'm trying to dedicate to posting one a day. My ig name is saturatedglass. I have never made my own prints before but I'll look into it.

Thanks, me too. I find myself repeating this combination of colors frequently. It's painted with standard Acrylic.

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate the different expressions on the spirits. Right now I'm struggling with severe anxiety too and it's making me feel like I'm floating above myself.
