Struggling with Bipolar Depression: Need Advice

Medication. I destroyed everything in my path, I was arrested 3 times, then sectioned for 5 months. It's hard, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Guess it helps that I'm very stubborn and highly motivated. I give myself small rewards when I achieve something, e.g, can be something small like a lip gloss I wanted, etc.

that dip into depression is the worst, ive been experiencing that recently too so i understand how awful it is. ive been talking to a therapist which is really helpful but i understand not all ppl have access to a therapist. ive also been giving myself little rewards or doing some self-care after work to give myself something to look forward to & remind myself this depressive episode wont last forever & just be gentle with myself too

It's incredibly hard. I find my work still motivating because I work with other people who depend on me. Sometimes you can find your own means of motivation, only give yourself that treat on work days?
