The main way I cope in life is just staying positive. It works very well.
Hi there. I too try to stay positive. I've started using a mood tracker for all my daily events and moods and I journal a lot. I have many issues, number one being Bipolar but I am also very isolated with nobody to talk to about my mental health problems. I used to go to a Psychiatrist but her and I had a falling out you might say and haven't been back in over 2 years now. What I miss is the group therapy we used to have at the clinic I would attend. Now I am home all day every day by myself with my self help books and coping skills that sometimes work and most of the time don't. So as of this past week, I haven't been coping well at all. And to make matters worse, my husband whom I don't live with but see every day is in a catatonic state and depression which is making mine worse or maybe I should day helpless. Any encouragement or words of wisdom would be most appreciated. Thank You.
