hi Tony, welcome to the board.

The main thing I do is to take my meds and talk to my doctor if for some reason they are not working properly.

Also I don't drink or take recreation drugs.

I try and ensure I get good sleep, regular and of sufficient length.



Are you on meds? If so, which ones?

I use other tools to help along with meds.... Gratitude, exercise, I should do meditation but it hasn't stuck yet... I've been told mindfulness helps a great deal.... a lot of people on here have therapists that they swear by... xo

For me getting enough slepe is my biggest tool Iim managing this. I take my meds religiously and as prescribed. I see my therapist every Monday and she helps me navigate my emotions and life.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
