I just passed my one year anniversary and was nervous that I might repeat an episode too. You'll get through it! My therapist recommended that I treat that week like any other and try not to dwell on the past. It was difficult because I am sentimental so I ended up writing down all the ways I've changed since then. I found it to be a helpful exercise. Best of luck to you getting through this time of year.

hi michbear-- I think mrsjoggers has some good advice for you. Like many people I tend to get depressed in the winter-- I have SAD as well as Bipolar II-- but certainly everyone's experience is different. I hope you are able to get through the holidays ok.

In the winter I tend to drink more because of downtime which throws my system off plus the stress of not working. I will do better this year because we are dry!!

Hi there. Mrsjoggers had really good points. Have u thought of using coping techniques? Journaling may work for expressing how far you've came. I have BP1. Plus I deal with anxiety a lot. One winter I had SAD real bad so I started a med for that. Last winter my mania kicked in. I wanted to stay up really really late, shop like crazy, I was forgetting to take my meds a few days, people kept telling me I was talking too fast. I was just wanting to go out and get turnt.
