There are plenty of days where I feel I don't function at all, but thank you!
I can only speak for myself, but I've always found it helpful to stare my problems (mental health or otherwise) in the proverbial eyes. To see them from all angles. That way, my issues and feelings aren't some monster in the dark, but something with form, substance and dimension. If I give my manic and/or depressive thoughts substance and dimension, I have something specific to fight or dismantle or simply go around.
