Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) by Mary Ellen Copeland gives practical advise on day-to-day living with bp. There is also a class taught on this book through NAMI that was excellent (& free). It was a 2-day workshop where you learned to identify your triggers, symptoms & how to avoid/deal with them. Also, you make up a list of things that keep you healthy that you need to do on a daily basis. You brainstorm with other members of the class about that & get good ideas about something you might want to try to add to improve the quality of your life. It also covered what you want (what kinds of meds, treatments, etc.) if you end up in the hospital & what hospital you don't want to go to so you don't have to repeat any bad experiences you've had. You get that form witnessed & notarized so when you aren't thinking clearly the person you designated to take over for you will have all the info.
