That's great that you feel you are feeling better! I'm taking steps towards getting out of a vicious cycle. There's some things I'm not ready to change, although I probably should...but at least I'm thinking about my choices more instead of acting completely out of impulse.

Lately, I feel I've made progress in learning from my mistakes. Sometimes it's two steps forward, one step back. My progress goes out the window when manic, but I'm thankful my pdoc is doing a lot to help me since I'm recovering from an episode and all the messes I made for myself while I was in that state. Trying to stay hopeful, although I need to build up my strength again so I don't repeat the destructive cycle again.
