Thanks for the response. Funny (not really) thing is that I've taken the WRAP through NAMI. It's been a few years. I'll have to get it out to see if I can find some "tools" to help me now. When I took the WRAP class I was pretty up so I could easily identify things that were triggers, what helped me to function better each day & I did have some goals that I had some success at.

I've always had the low self-esteem (except when manic), but as one of the posters above said my self-esteem is supposed to come from inside & not from what others think of me. That I don't know how to accomplish.--Suzy
