Things that have worked for me:

1) Journaling - it is amazing how helpful it is in identifying when I'm about to go into a mania or depressive state.

2) There's a saying that if you have a lot of friends you have no true friends. I've recently learned this is true. I have four friends I was comfortable sharing my dx with. They check on me regularly. Sometimes they just come sit with me and let me cry. Not everyone is comfortable sharing their dx. So that's a personal decision.

3) EXERCISE. I run and do yoga. When I'm feeling good I can run about 7-8 miles. When I'm depressed sometimes all I can do is get out and walk a mile. Doesn't matter what you do or how much you do it helps.

4) I'm a Christian so I spend a lot of time in prayer.

5) Sleep patterns are important, which I haven't mastered yet.

6) Get a routine in your life. For instance, the minute I get out of bed I take my medicine, exercise, shower, make the bed, eat breakfast. It goes one but I do it in the same order every day.

7) If there are "bad" habits that are impacting your recovery replace them with healthy ones. I use to sit on my back porch every night and drink a whole (sometimes more) bottle of wine and watch the sunset. Alcohol is BAD for me. I now sit out back, drink hot tea, and watch the sunset.

Those work for me. It might not for you. Keep at it you will find what works.
