I can't take credit for it @Glisten, that would go to Dr Dan Siegel as far as I know.

When I learnt about it, it resonated a lot with me and helped me explain a lot about myself and helped me to get better control of those doubts and anxieties I'd lived with for most of my life.

Hey everyone,
@tyme @MJG017 @Oaktree @Glisten
@PeppiPatty @Jynx @Ru-bee @rav3n
I'm so glad that I activated my Wellness Plan when I did last night!
I went from hypomanic to euthymic in a matter of hours. And @Glisten and @Oaktree are right, sleep was the biggest factor. It was literally overnight! I'm feeling good now, optimistic for my recovery journey.
Signing off for the night - taking a leaf out of @Oaktree 's sleep hygiene book.
Night night!

Hi @Spirit_Healer i only just got up and sitting on the bed checking my phone, so its a bit early to say what today is like. I have nothing on today, apart from a nurse coming over soon to give me an injection. The weather looks nice, so im hoping for a nice relaxed day.
I hope you day goes just as well. If not better. I read you other post, and it seems like you've definitely found a keeper in this man who feels the sane about you.

@MJG017 just thinking about him makes me happy.
We were messaging, from when I reached out because I couldn't sleep, until 23:59 last night, so I'm giving him some space today. Waiting to hear from him if he choose to initiate. I really need to bring this up with him: it's always me that initiates. How do I start the conversation with him?
