Have you also considered adding a little writing to your life, as well? Creative writing, poetry, reflections, and article writing (with or without research) has made a world of difference for me.

If/when you are stable for a while, consider also discussing dosage reductions with your psychiatrist. I take a fairly low dose of Lamictal with other meds, and no longer have cognitive impairment.
No, I've never tried writing. I could give it a shot, though. There's no harm in trying, I suppose.

It's just that journaling triggers me in many ways, so I don't do it anymore. That's the only kind of writing I can't do.
