In my experience with my "up" episodes, a good quality is always finding a new project (granted they usually don't get finished, but hey) and it serves as a great distraction away from thoughts of self-harm. And that's how I get through it. Distraction with a side of distraction. Constantly keep myself busy and I can't do any real damage.

Do you have any hobbies or activities you enjoy, if so, would you like to make a few projects out of them?
