It can be def done.

I personally chose to use herbals and bach essences to help out the with mood cycles.

But mostly it's about "attitude" (I am NOT talking "happy thoughts". Rather somewhat buddhist approach). And coping. I use visualization meditation to combat the dark and twisted thoughts. And finding what works for you. Find your outlet. Look for good omens. They are there. Focus on your most troublesome behaviours and set some roadblocks. Fantasize the "wrong" but don't do it if it helps.

It's easy to say "take your meds". 12 letter advice. But even if you take them... meds are only portion of the deal. Many here follow the 12 letter advice and still struggle. It's really not as easy as that.
