Hi Sprik- I still take klonopin as needed.. But I dealt with recent hypo staying active, eat healthy, juicing. I stepped outside my comfort zone and made some new gf's to do things with. Tools learned in mindfulness & REBT therapies have kept me more aware of my self talk , habit of catastrophic thinking and rationalizing my response to triggers. I did some unhealthy coping , but that was what I did on meds too cuz I still cycled. Lithium , lamictal , Abilify & countless AD's.
It's not an easy fun party. But I'm riding it out well. I think a mellow stable period is coming on , and I hope I'll welcome it and not be bored. Depression scares me. Hope that answers some. And yoga helps slow racing thoughts & anxiety quite a bit for me.
