Hello everyone!

How are you all doing today?

The depressive phase of bipolar disorder is characterized by episodes of major depression that can alternate with manic phases. This phase can be extremely challenging to manage for individuals with bipolar disorders, as well as for their loved ones.

What are the most common symptoms of the depressive phase that you personally experience? What are the emotional and social consequences of the depressive phase for you? Do you have tips that have been helpful for you or your loved ones in coping with depressive symptoms?

Please feel free to share your experiences in the comments below. Every contribution counts, and you can provide valuable support to people affected by bipolar disorder.

Thank you, and have a beautiful day. 🌼

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
