I'm really in need of support and good thoughts. I've mentioned before that I have bipolar disorder. I've been having intrusive thoughts about being aggressive, sometimes towards people. They get into my head, and my hand even twitches a little, but luckily I'm "here" enough to be able to stop myself. But I can see it playing in my head, and my arm is itching to throw whatever I'm holding.

I am so overwhelmed with good resources in the other thread I posted about physical suffering that right now, I would like a pared down version for my troubled mind. Because I'm still *mostly* in touch with reality, what are some very very basic things I can use to try and clear my mind? Should I go back and study that video series posted on my other thread? Any other ideas?

And honestly, part of what I'm looking for is just for someone to respond and say they're thinking good thoughts/good vibes. I really need people right now. Note: I'm aware that no one here is qualified to give me mental health advice like my doctor would. I understand. I'll call my doctor if it gets bad. I'm just rapid cycling due to massive stress/changes. I just want friends, and a "buddhism light" suggestion so that I can put these things into practice, but in a simple way, as I am too hypomanic to sit and do a lot of reading. I'm only trying for 5 minutes of meditation here.
