You can start by educating yourself about the disorder. There are some good book recommendations (sticky note) in the BP forum homepage. Exercise and proper diet will help, and the books will be able to give you a formal guideline. Quite a few people on this forum, including myself, have been helped by Julie Fast and John Preston's Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder.
Good luck.

Thank you so much and I will look into those books. I guess a part of me is still holding out that im not bipolar. Im going to talk to the doc about getting off of the zoloft. I was really suicidal and lithium really helped. Thanks again to all of you for your support and kind words.
