Right now I'm on 300 mg of lithium but normally I'm not in treatment.

The way I do it is to basically be 100% aware at all times that I have an illness that makes me volitile and to know my limitations. I track my moods, triggers, and admit to myself when things are bad. Denial is what kills you, that's my moto. I don't do vitamins or acids and I could eat better and exercise more. But, I do stay on a routine as much as possible and get good sleep as best I can. These are things that help me.

Recently I've been having a lot of other issues and was feeling terrible which is why I restarted lithium. I use a low dose because I'm very sensitive to meds and chemicals.
