I think it is our responsibility to seek the resources we need in a holistic approach. I keep a mood log/ journal that my psychiatrist reads so he gets the whole picture. But it is unrealistic that he will be able to help me too much with everything. His job basically is to manage meds. The clinic in general does try to keep an eye on overall physical health.

If I need therapy, which I do because it helps, it is my job to initiate that, which I have. Practicing mediation is up to me. No one is going to force me to do it. Getting out and shoveling the snow off the sidewalk is up to me to get the exercise and because it needs to be done.

Knowing what resources we need at a particular time and how to utilize them is important.

If in a crisis then reach out to someone who can intervene and help you get to those resources.
