Bipolar
Well, rather than responding to hana's comment I'll just make a new post.
You want to know something. A bipolar disorder is not about feelings so you can't say "try not to layan sangat the feelings" or in english, don't brood. In medical science memang the only way is medication but alternative therapy like EFT and energy medicine can help. Solat and zikir helps too. It's not "feelings". It's not "thoughts". It's not simply brooding till you feel bad. You're feeling something without reason. You're feeling bad without reason. You're feeling happy or overjoyed at ridiculuous times and even over very very sad things. You're hyper for hours and suddenly turn blank and senseless like you got dipped in ice cold water.
Through energy methods I've learned you have blocks in your energy system, making the flow sluggish or even stop. Through EFT I've learned that it could even be that your energy system is reversed completely. The blockage coulbd be from your past experiences, memory, even cellular memory which is genetics and unexplainable inherited traits.
How do you overcome it? Not through faking it. You just smile and say "Oh i'm okay", "Nothing's wrong", "All's well that ends well". Do that and you'll get a very nice example of a classical Malay word that's been adopted by the English language. Amuk! You would literally run amok when it exceeds your limits. It's a malay word for sure and it's first observed here because we're taught to always not show our feelings to be polite. Not to express our thoughts and opinions as we should "listen to our betters", orang tua makan garam dulu yea?
So I would advise you to process your feelings. Look and see why you feel bad. What makes you feel bad. If you don't know why, if you're sure it's a manifestation of the darker side of your mind, then you need to process it through more fantastic methods. Energy work mostly works better than any other tried method. Breathing exercises focuses the mind when no focus could be found. A shower, a bath. Reduce the anxiety and anger level. Then process it through energy work. EFT works best for me. What is EFT? I'll explain later if I feel the urge to do so.
Okay, basic for those without any background in energy work. Zikr (that is chant) while thinking on the problem and thinking that "I'm still okay even if I don't know how to settle it". Don't think of a solution. Just think that you have the problem but you're still okay. You forgive yourself for having the problem. Rub the sides of your eyes, where you rub when you have a headache. Press both point of your eyebrows nearest your nose. Rub below your nose, above your lips. Clap your chest, make sure your hand touches your collarbone while doing it. And and with du'a, pray.
Okay that works to reduce unexplained thoughts and feelings. Try it and it would help.
