-Staying on meds
-Having a consistent sleep schedule
-Try to eat something for breakfast/decent diet
-Good communication with supervisor and co-workers to increase a sense of comfort in the work environment, makes the time go faster and reduces stress (I didn't even realize how important this was until later on!)
-Take advantage of any break times you have
-Staying on top of health and make sure you go to appointments
-Choosing a job where you have an understanding, supportive working environment, preferably one that is flexible and offers time off, if you are lucky. Know that if one job doesn't work out, there's lots of jobs out there that may be a better fit
-Reserve your time off for "mental health days" and take them as soon as you experience warning signs, so that you don't burn out. FMLA is also a safety net
-When you do have off, make room for relaxation so that you can go back to the week feeling refreshed
-Don't think about work too much the night before.....that creates so much anxiety, and I've been guilty of that!
