Dear @dands26
It's grea that at least you are able to write down self care plans.
Which state do you live in? I live in Western Australia. I do go down the beach every day but it can be stressful because of my daily wellbeing.
I personally like mindfullness meditation: I started with Jon Kabat Zinn: "Wherever You Go there you are," and the other one that you played.
The first meditation I ever did is here: https://youtu.be/7Ap_-F9D5Gw
But it goes for 6 hours .......it is nice: Very nice just to listen to.........

Does it get easier?
Um......
It gets easier in that the routine gets into a swing and you relax in the routine.
Timetables are so important in mine and Mr g's life.
Does is get easier?
My love for Mr g is more grounded.
We have had huge highs and huge lows: things that most people would have walked away from and right now; today; I was thinking that it would be very easy to walk away and I would have a great story of why I walked away.
But
Short term/ exciting high feelings of excitement love are not for me. Mr g works so so hard every day to be with me and I'm always working at being kind. Who would want to throw that away?
So:
Patience.
Being quiet at times for the other to work out stuff.
At the end of the day: not going to bed with huge apologies and reflecting on the GOOD as well and the bad.
Writing a timetable for tomorrow/ letting him do it is good.
Remembering that every day; MI means that the sufferer wakes up with their condition.
Does it get easier?
Yes.
If you keep up your self care.

Thankyou @PeppiPatty
I needed to hear that right now, gives me hope...
Even gp wondered yesterday why I was hanging on so tight, caused me to doubt myself so your message came at the right time.
Self care is the key, I have not done real self care for too long,
