For me lifestyle changes fit big in my recovery hopes.
I have to watch what I eat because foods I eat can stabilize my moods or exaggerate them. A high protein low carb diet with snacks or meals every 3-4 hours will over time reduce my swings. I also avoid alcohol and recreational drugs because those can really increase depression.
Other lifestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central.
