No there is never just one thing we can do. I do aromatherapy, lavendar, geranium and rosemary help me. if nothing else it reminds me to breathe. getting good sleep if most important for people with bipolar. i eat a lot of salmon because it does my brain good. plus i love it. i have a great therapist i see. and a wonderful psychiatrist. and physical activity is important. right now i am on a quest to stay feeling as good as i feel now. i have a tendency to be happy for a few weeks then i get super down for a few weeks. it's always triggered by outside stressors but i believe i can have more control over it. i've never been consistent with my self care. usually when i'm in a deep low i find my way out of it by doing some self care and adjusting my thinking. then when i am in a good place i think i start slacking off doing the stuff that helps me so i end up crashing again. up and down. i'm tired of it. so i'm doing something about it. i just need to figure out a routine and embrace that. i have tended to run from anything routine, feeling trapped. but it is important to embrace if i want to have more consistency and at least not go up and down so much. anyway, that was more than you probably asked for. but it helped me to be able to share it with you... so thanks.
