My experience is that meds only do parts of the job and that we need to learn some coping strategies to live our lives to the fullest.

I have found "The Decider Skills for Self Help: CBT and DBT skills to increase resilience, coping and confidence" by Michelle Ayres and Carol Vivyan very helpful. May be that book or some other book may be helpful to you as well ...

The mentioned book can be downloaded as an app if you want to. Look into Amazon for description if you find this interesting.
