But I can't figure it out.

It's not really sinking in ... and to be honest it's making me feel worse. I have really started to not sleep again. I've increased my daily walks and meditation but it's not helping. I CANNOT go back to were I was in December mentally.
It's not an excuse but it is an explanation. Now that you've been diagnosed you can find copping skills and perhaps medicine to help reduce the behaviors. I'd recommend a Therapist who's versed in mood disorders and can help you recognize symptoms before they get out of control.
