stopping Bi-Polar lows
Hello,I'm new here and wanted to be able to get this message out to everyone in this support group but I don"t know how!I can stop my own lows every time if I start to drink water as soon as I feel my mood drop.You just need to remind yourself everyday somehow that you are going to go into a low.By telling yourself,sticky notes,or a live in friend.At first it will go right thru you and come back out,but after a day or so of continuing to drink it it will stay in.We end up overly dehydrated and the water will restore your blood volume,absorb carbon dioxide that get"s trapped in us,and calm our stomache acids.Please,please just try it!It might also turn your highs into a "normal" happiness instead of a "manic" high.Take care!

It's great to hear that this has worked for you. It's always helpful to hear from others who have found healthy ways to cope💜

64oz of anything? I can't drink that much water, I get physically ill and start throwing up, but I can drink other stuff (I don't drink alcohol, and it's obvious that's not a solution, but I just felt I should mention it because I said I do drink anything else)
