Like blueberry said, sleep hygiene. Keeping your appointments. Personally I think therapy is a great help. They can be the objective observer and help you put names to your moods and catch the moods before they roll over into serious mountains and valleys. Learning to use coping skills to prevent a little downswing from turning into full blown depression. It helps to get a therapist who’s familiar with bipolar.
