What do you do when you feel like you need a mental reset?

I have been living with Bipolar 2 Disorder since childhood, medication off and on since 1992 has kept me somewhat sane. Whenever I need a mental rest, I listen to music tuning out the rest of the world as I slowly crawl back into my introverted shell for hours which have on occasion turned into a day or two. If not, music I have numerous markers, pens, crayons to color pictures in a coloring book (not the ones for children). Naps are good also; it just depends on the day or how much negative vibes I get from others. There's always a journal to write down how I am feeling, or I work on my book that I'm writing about my life on the Bipolar Disorder roller coaster.

I keep to myself for about a week, maybe a few weeks if necessary. I still see my partner since we live together, and I see family, but I don’t see friends. Which they don’t take personally since I’m a bit of a hermit sometimes.

You got money in the bank? Money is key when you want to disrupt your life and reset, like go for a trip to change the environment, surrounding and people.

So is that picture saying, I should be killed for a few minutes, then resuscitated, and my life will be better?

Have a cup of tea with something sweet, maybe take a nap, or watch something like anime.

Three days in the hill and it's 15 minutes down to Bojangles (no teeth) and grocery store...

I try to work on things in my life to make my mental health better.

I roll into bed, close my eyes, think, fall asleep by accident, and refreshed!

Be alone to process, watch the birds, go to the park & enjoy nature, meditate.

Take a road trip! I just got back from a 4 day trip.

Wish I could unplug myself a few times

Breaking one off usually does the trick...😁

Isolate myself for a while

If I have access, imbibe in a psychedelic.

Maybe you should ride a dirtbike feel free

[beebella]

I don't have a dirt bike and I'm not asking for advice. I'm just asking the people of GaG. 😂
