For me meeting with my therapist once a week, just gives me a way to get out those things I just don't want to put on a friend or family. I look forward to that release.

If you’re in a depressed episode, I might recommend ECT. It’s totally daunting because it’s so intense and seemingly old-fashioned but it worked for me — it didn’t necessarily cure me, but it lifted my mood.

My therapist is sending me to different clinic to try DBT therapy so maybe look into that. My mom told her therapist about it and she said it’s really good for people with borderline and/or bipolar and that she highly recommends it. I’m actually looking forward to it.
