I guess I really do have to sleep better, eat better, exercise. The same stuff everyone else needs to do. I think bipolar just means it's even more important for us in particular.

I am realizing that low stress for me is high stress for someone else. I LOVE working in the neonatal ICU. I get great personal satisfaction from it, even with the bad times mixed in. I have tried less active, demanding jobs and I was SO BORED that I got actual depression!
