My therapist asked me what are my "New Year's resolutions". He specifically wanted to know what I had "planned" for my mental health. What was I going to do better? What was I going to stop doing?
Now to be honest, I'm not that kinda "New Years resolution" person. I don't do those, BUT I like the concept of changing myself for the better. (I believe that if you want to change yourself, you should just do it instead of waiting for the New Year... but hey, everyone is different.) Do you have any resolutions for your MI? For example, "stop self medicating", "stay in therapy", or "take medication consistently" etc.. Or another way to look at it, what about your MI treatment do you want to change? |

Work out as much as I can. Stay on my medication. Working out helps me (to a point)when i am depressed or manic. Going off medication is just a stupid thing I like to do.

Great thread topic!
 I am going to remain med compliant. I am going to better ID triggers and stay away from as many as possible. I mostly need to avoid "toxic people." I am going to continue with daily exercise, as it helps me to cope with stress. I will try to be more mindful of keeping balance in my life each day. Happy New Year!  WC |

Since my bipolar is med controlled I'm going to work on getting out of my comfort zone. That means driving and being outside by myself. I hope I can be well enough to take classes this summer.

I'm going to remain med compliant, continue a good sleep schedule, and do a better job of staying away from toxic friends and family.

The New Years resolution for me will start when I return to California next month
I'm going to switch to vaping. Ask my Pdoc to prescribe new meds I've been reading up on and try them out.

Be kind to myself, try to sleep more and rumminate less, drink less and be stronger.

try and harm myself less.
cutting works for me, but it's not pretty afterwards. make more use of helplines (such as samaratans), and not just bottle things up |

Trying to eat healthier and exercise more. I need to work on being less critical of myself because it seems to bring me down even more. I'll be damned if this year goes the way 2016 did.

I'll only use my e-cigarette, won't buy or smoke cigarettes. So far, so good.

I'll try to keep my apartment tidy. Right now it's kind of disheveled.
