I didn't do anything for it I just exsepted it and my life just been crap since I was happier before I was told I was mentally unstable

i recently got diagnosed with bipolar 1 but before that, i thought i just had anxiety and depression. honestly, meds have helped me more than anything but having things to keep me preoccupied helps me too. whether i’m feeling depressed or anxious, i try to force myself to get out of the house to at least take a walk outside with my dog. cooking and painting really helps me too

Honestly just distancing and trusting myself has given me hope to be going. Maybe that’s corny?

I try to keep myself distracted I watch movies , listen to music, anything to keep my mind occupied It sucks being mentally ill. Daily battle with the demons in my head
