Daily Bipolar Mood Journal 11/12/25

Hey everybody — it’s Conrad from Touching Tornadoes.Today’s live mood journal is about something I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately: letting go of my past self.When you live with bipolar disorder or go through major life changes, it can feel like there’s an old version of you still hanging around — the one from before the diagnosis, before the healing, or before sobriety. Today I’m talking about what it means to release that version, forgive ourselves, and grow into who we are now.Join me for my gratitude check-in, daily mood journal, and affirmations to help start the day grounded and clear.#BipolarDisorder #MentalHealth #Recovery #TouchingTornadoes #MoodJournal #bipolarawareness

Daily Bipolar Mood Journal 11/10/25: Bipolar Recovery and Second Chances

Welcome back to Touching Tornadoes! Today’s daily mood journal dives into what it feels like to step into new opportunities while living with bipolar 1 — especially right after a manic episode. I had another peer support interview today, and I talk about what that means for my recovery, my purpose, and my daily wellness routine. From managing nerves and sleep to practicing gratitude and staying grounded, this episode is about turning your lived experience into something meaningful — even when it’s still hard. In this episode: * Gratitude check-in: second chances and community * Mood journal: stability, nerves, and staying consistent * Topic: interviewing as a peer support and finding purpose through struggle * Affirmations for growth and self-compassion If you’ve ever felt unsure about where you stand after recovery — or wondered if your story could help others — this one’s for you. ✴️ Affirmations from today: 1. My story has value. 2. My lived experience gives me strength, not shame. 3. I trust the process — the right opportunities will align with my purpose. 4. I am calm, capable, and ready to help others heal. 5. I don’t chase perfection — I share connection. 🎧 Touching Tornadoes is about staying grounded through life’s storms — with humor, honesty, and heart. 👉 Visit www.TouchingTornadoes.com [http://www.touchingtornadoes.com/] for my blog and past episodes.

Daily Bipolar Mood Journal 11/8/25: Walking in Yesterdays clothes.

Today’s mood journal comes from my morning walk — just me, the wind, and some honest talk about depression. Sometimes movement helps me process the heavy stuff, and this walk turned into a real reflection on what it feels like to live with bipolar depression and keep going anyway. 🎧 Touching Tornadoes — real talk, raw moments, and reminders that we’re not alone in this storm. #BipolarDisorder #Depression #MentalHealthJourney #TouchingTornadoes
