The facility I am currently attending for intensive therapy after hospitalization uses a combination of methods - CBT, DBT and Mindfulness. I'm adding new "tools" to my coping toolbox every day.

My anxiety is a component of my Bipolar. I take Buspar which doesn't get rid of it completely. I can have 0 level days, but thinks can still spark an anxiety response, though not as severe as unmedicated. I still have to use my tools to calm down when I get anxious and I like that. Hopefully I can stop the Buspar at some point.
