Thank your for your reply.
It's really hard to balance bipolar and control it. Bipolar consume time and life. I'm not sure how I have the power to control my life while the bipolar symptoms still specially depression and low moods.
Are yoga and meditation really work before meds work? I find it difficult to set in one area and clear my mind while exercise increase my symptoms.
1.- My medication process is constantly monitored, I have appointments with the psychiatrist every three weeks now, and at the beginning it shifted from 3mg of risperdone and two 500 mg tablets of epival to now 2mg risperdone and one 500 mg epival. Don't suspend it!!! I stopped taking it because the memories where just such an experience of adventure that I went manic during my recovery, and again I started having trouble with concentrating, focusing and socializing. Medications are a must!!
2.- Well I took two and 1/2 years off from school and work to recover, because it was so intense I could not even socialize. But my psychiatrist recommended me yoga, it requires a type of focus and management from the body that I can assure you, IT WORKS, you can exercise while having a free mind to think simultaneously. Take folic acid, complex B and fish oil and a healthy meal. I recommend that you manage some time for yourself, like spend 1 hour a day talking to yourself out loud and smoke a cigarette. Don't drink alcohol anymore or drugs like marijuana,they are very dangerous to your memory and concentration.
You have to FIGHT IT, and take time off from stress, take your meds, eat healthy, and try to socialize more, thinking about communication skills is important, try to follow conversations and admit that your having an issue following. It's re-learning everything again, it just takes patience and time.
I'll pray for you that you get back on track.
