@Blue_Bird and @MuddyBoots I'm not sure how you feel about birth control, or if your body would tolerate it, but one of the best things I did for my bipolar management was start taking it. Every month, I would become hypomanic a week or two before my period and then have a bad depressive crash once it started. I'd get 1-2 weeks of stability and then the whole process would start again. Since I started birth control this summer, I've only had one depressive episode (which was actually triggered by the first birth control med I tried) and one mixed episode. I haven't had this kind of stability since before I started having symptoms in 2019.
