I aim to give myself ample time to be fully aware of how to deal with my current self.

I'm not into reading books or novels at all but recently, I began reading books written by authors who have faced more hardships with Bipolar Disorder, been through trial and errors of remedies to align themselves back on track.

It sooths my mind a step at a time, with sound wisdoms offered by adults who've been through more hardships, that I could learn to apply them to my life, or some that may take time to internalize.

Right now, I recognize that my old-self still dwells in the past over unintentional mistakes. It has been trying to pull me back into the darkness the moment it finds an opportunity when "depressive" state kicks in.

One step I've taken to comfort myself, was to assist my mates with their issues (over an online game, in a chat group). This way, I reduce my focus on my current issues, and helping them to achieve a positive results have made me learnt very important lessons, that I find useful in the future.
