  • Monitor your mood. Keep track of your mood regularly, including factors such as sleep, medicine, and activities that can impact your mood. 
  • Exercise daily. Exercise is nice to relieve tension. It can also avoid the weight gain that can be a side effect of your bipolar medication.
  • You may also practice calming techniques such as meditation and deep breathing exercises.
  • Sleep well. Having enough sleep will help to stabilize your mood.
  • Eat a healthy diet. Certain foods may affect your mood more than others. Consider keeping a food log to track what you eat and how certain foods make you feel. Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about foods that may help stabilize your mood.
  • Stay optimistic. It will take time for your symptoms to improve after you start bipolar therapy, but you will feel relaxed knowing that you will get better and that the worst is most definitely behind you.
