Therapy has helped me... somewhat.
I find that I can't really control myself when I'm manic or experiencing psychosis. I've tried grounding techniques, but they don't really help me. I'm usually in a chaotic state of mind and can't think straight.
Depression wise, though... My therapist gave me great ideas for how to cope with feeling unmotivated, hopeless, etc.. They help a lot when I push myself to do them. For example, stay out of bed, sleep a normal amount (rather than sleeping too much), etc..
