I've been stable for quite awhile now, but those ole racing thoughts still give me trouble sometimes. Just can't seem to shut my brain off! At those times it's very hard for me to get to sleep. Once I'm asleep, I stay asleep, but it's the getting there that's the hard part.
I found a solution, though, and wanted to share it with you, because I know alot of people with bipolar disorder struggle with the same thing.
I don't mean for this to come out like a commercial, but it probably will, so I'll apologize for that right off. But there's a website where I got some relaxation CDs that are working for me really great. I even wrote a couple articles on the homepage of this website on hypnosis and meditation that you can read if you scroll down it. It's at: www.goodtapes.com, and the man's name is Louis P. Bauer, Ph.D.
He's even got one on losing weight that I'm listening to at night now, because the last medication I was changed to put 35 pounds on me! NOT a good thing. But to have both my weight problem and racing thoughts problem addressed at the same time? Good thing! :)
He also has one on stress and anxiety reduction that I've gotten but haven't had a chance to listen to yet. But I'm sure I'm going to like it. I'm telling you, I have no idea what the end of the CD says, because I'm asleep before the end! I'm so excited about that, as you can tell.
I normally don't endorse other people's products, but in this case, I'm using it myself with success, so maybe you can, too.
I'm waking up better in the morning, too, without that groggy "med hangover" feeling! My writing is better, and so is my attitude.
Well, that's all I had for today. Just a quick commercial, then off to work! Hope you're having a good day.
Wishing you peace and stability,
Remember God loves you and so do I,
Michele
