When I'm having a bad day mentally and physically in a flare up I'm going to share some small tips /things that help me get through the day personally - ***DISCLAIMER **we are all human beings and all individuals, so what works for one person, may not be useful to another. It may be just be down to trail and error. Everyone is different.
When in pain physically apart from taking my usual pain killers, I try to do simple breathing exercises in a calm place where I won't be disturbed.
When having a bad mental health day I may try to sleep it off, clean bits in the house or I find reading or journaling helpful. #copingwithararedisease #Strategy #CopingMechanism

My coping mechanism is primarily to travel. I usually travel every 2-3 months to reset, reflect and write. But the pandemic prohibited me to do so. This conversation sums up all my bottled up thoughts since my last travel on December 2019. #Depression #BipolarDisorder #keepgoing #UsapTayo #Travel #CopingTips #copingstrategies #CopingMechanism #CopingWithAnxiety #Anxiety
I hope it’s ok that I share these here. Here is another post I made on my blog page about my mental illness journey. Just click the link to read.
The two do not mix well. Any tips for dealing with depression while in isolation? #COVID19 #BipolarDisorder #BipolarDepression #CopingTips #copingstrategies #CopingMechanism
Winter is a depressing season for me, but sometimes I have fun in the rain.
I have been thinking about starting to journal. There’s a lot going on and no way to talk about it seriously and to fully get out these feelings. So I am wondering does it help others? And if you find it helpful do you have any tips? #Anxiety #CopingMechanism #CopingTips #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #LymeDisease
