During an episode shift, there’s not much really to do, in my opinion, except try to get average hours of time in bed per day and talk to people (prof & close) along the way. After the episode(s) are over though I typically reflect on things I did and things I could’ve done but am thankful I didn’t.

I try to stay sane and not rely on any substance. It’s best to talk it through with therapist or family so they’re aware

What I do to cope with the mood swings is listen to music or go for a walk watch some TV all you have to do is distract yourself from the mood swings

Me too. I have trusted friends I talk to and I try to find solitude as much as I can. I also write, play guitar, exercise, hydrate and try to get rest as much as is possible
