Can’t Fall Back Asleep? Try This Trick to Calm a Racing Mind

Ever wake up at 3 AM and suddenly your brain is in overdrive—rehashing conversations, planning tomorrow, or worrying about everything? Instead of fighting it, try this simple, calming mental exercise to guide your brain back to sleep.

Here’s how it works:

Choose a short, positive or neutral word—like BATH.

For each letter, think of 3 positive or neutral words that start with it.

B: beach, ball, basking

A: apple, autumn, air

T: tea, turtle, tulip

H: hammock, honey, hill

This gently shifts your brain away from stress and into a calm, focused rhythm. It's like a mental lullaby—repetitive, soothing, and grounding.

Give it a try the next time your thoughts try to hijack your sleep. (I've never gotten past 5 words)

Spring is Here — and So Is an Uptick in Hypomania

As the days get longer and brighter, many people feel a boost in energy. But for those with bipolar disorder, spring can trigger hypomania—a noticeable shift in mood and behavior that may seem positive at first, but can quickly become destabilizing.

Signs to watch for:

Decreased need for sleep

Increased energy or restlessness

Racing thoughts or rapid speech

Impulsive spending or risky behavior

Heightened irritability or agitation

Feeling unusually confident or invincible

If you or someone you love is showing signs of hypomania, early intervention is key. Hypomania can feel productive or exciting—but it’s often a sign that support and adjustment are needed.

Building Resilience: Your Superpower in Tough Times

We believe resilience isn’t something you're just born with—it’s a skill you can build. Think of it as your emotional immune system. Life throws challenges our way—stress, anxiety, unexpected changes—but resilience helps you adapt, recover, and grow stronger through it all.

Here are four practical ways to build resilience:

Talk about it – Sharing your experiences with a trusted friend, therapist, or support group can lighten the load.

Reframe setbacks – Instead of asking "Why me?" try asking "What can I learn from this?"

Care for your body – Regular sleep, movement, and nourishing food support mental strength.

Practice mindfulness – Even a few minutes of deep breathing or quiet reflection each day can ground you and build emotional flexibility.

You don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, autism, depression, or just the everyday stress of life—we’re here to support you.

If you’re ready to start building your resilience, reach out to Capstone Mental Health and schedule a consultation today.

Autism & OCD: What’s the Connection? 🤔🔄
Repetitive thoughts. Rigid routines. Deep focus on details. Autism and OCD share similarities, but they’re not the same. While OCD is driven by intrusive thoughts and anxiety, autism routines often bring comfort and stability.

Understanding Trauma Responses đź§ đź’”
Trauma doesn’t always look like what we expect. It can show up as fight (anger), flight (avoidance), freeze (shutting down), or fawn (people-pleasing). Your response is valid—it’s your brain protecting you.

Healing starts with awareness and support. If past trauma is affecting your daily life, medication and therapy can help. đź’™ Reach out today.
