Maybe add a bit of positive reinforcement for yourself each time you pick up your little cup/pill holder/whatever.
Something like, "Today and tomorrow, I can do what I choose to do, and think as I choose to think, because in this moment, I choose to take these meds." Just something positive and kinda formal, a statement of defiance against disorder and mayhem.
[visualizing Aragorn giving his speech but like, "depression or mania may someday win, but it is not THIS day."] lol.
Roll your own of course as fits your personality, but for me, these things are like armor and I'll never wander out onto the battlefield of life again without my armor. Though, some of the pieces may change over time as style and fitness for duty change.
