Your private space
Reading helps. Noticing helps more.
A daily check-in
One minute on mood, anxiety, sleep and energy. Patterns appear within a week, long before you would notice them alone.
Practices that stick
Save the suggestions that fit your life, then tick them off as you go. Small, repeated, and only visible to you.
Words from appointments
87 psychiatric terms explained in plain language, so the notes from a consultation read the way they were meant to.
Why this exists
The story behind this guide
Created by Peter Bowdler, who was diagnosed with bipolar 2 at 58, for anyone trying to understand a condition in themselves or someone they love.
