Well besides the standard find the right treatment plan, acquire the necessary coping skills and live healthy in order to stabilize... I will say this.


Perspective.


Redefine what you perceive to be normal, its a subjective term anyway. So tweak it to your needs and your will.


I say this, because as long as you are going to be a fish beating yourself up for not being able to climb a tree, you will never be happy and you will also probably resent all the squirrels just for being born squirrels.


Perception plays a huge roll in how we navigate this rollercoaster.


Me, I have managed to redefine my normal, but I still struggle with accepting that my reality is not what I had planned, and yes,when I'm struggling I absolutely hate it and wish I was a damn squirrel.

But at least those moments are now fleeting and far between as opposed to all encompassing as it were in the past.
