I woke up feeling ok this morning. I am very much looking forward to watching soccer with my friends.\u00a0 (It’s the Champion’s League game with Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund for any football fans out there!)<\/p>\n

I have my morning planned out so that I can get my work done before and after the match.\u00a0 The weather is nice and I actually got to sleep rather easily last night! All good stuff.<\/p>\n

Then, as I was walking to Starbucks where I am doing my email, I started to have these thoughts:<\/p>\n

“Something is not right. I am in the wrong place. My clothes look funny. I am not as great as I think I am.\u00a0 Things will not work out for me. Other people have it so much easier. Something is wrong.”<\/p>\n

If you have bipolar disorder, you know that these quick mood swings can be actual thoughts that you can identify- or they are\u00a0simply the feeling that something’s wrong. \u00a0 You just don’t feel right.<\/p>\n

As soon as this started, I used the tips I talk about in my\u00a0books and did the following.<\/p>\n

1. Reminded myself that I always have these thoughts when I am in a new situation such as going to a noisy place to watch a soccer game. It’s just stress and the thoughts are ALWAYS the same no matter what the event. I have them written specifically on my Health Cards\u00a0so I won’t forget how normal the thoughts are for me.\u00a0The Health Cards are\u00a0my treatment plan-\u00a0there is a link on the menu to read more.<\/p>\n

2. I said LEAVE ME ALONE to the thoughts over and over again and just pushed the thoughts from my head. I was fine when I woke up- so I knew I could make sure this was just a blip on my day.<\/p>\n

3. I kept going with my plan which was to go to Starbucks and do my email before I watch\u00a0the match. I know that I can get things done no matter what my mind is thinking- this is mild stuff compared to what I have been through and I will not let it ruin my morning!<\/p>\n
