...when it comes to coping with your BP symptoms?

Could be anything -- yoga, therapy, meds, friends, etc etc

For me, I'd say it's friendships more than anything. Having people to talk to, especially those people with BP, is really nice. I like being able to vent sometimes and have someone listen to me. So I guess therapy is really helpful in that sense too since I tend to use my sessions for venting. (Probably not the best use of my therapy time, but it works, so why fix what ain't broke?)

And yourself?

Being on here, really. It has helped me out to hear other people go through what they go through.

honestly, what's helped me the most is knowing my limits- and to not let anyone tell me otherwise- or try to interfeere

example: I might be doing 2 things at once, which is stressing me out, because I can only handle 1 thing, so i switch to that 1 thing- and when I get round to doing what that person wants, I'll get round to it. they can wait. it's really not difficult- and if they struggle to wait, then guess what... they can do it themselves

the other thing that's really helped me is being away from my family- and accepting they are bad people to have in my life

they only trigger me, so

Understanding friends. I've been lucky enough to attend a meetup group where I met some friends there who totally understand me.
Thanks for this!

Having a great family has helped. I'm really lucky that my family is so supportive. 'My mom even took off work to take me to ECT appointments last year. Finding the right medication has also made all the difference I. The world. I can do coping skills till the cows come home but they only help me deal with depression, they don't lessen or prevent it. So finding emsam has really been my savior.
