Jellies with mental illness: How do you stay stable?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37345points) October 5th, 2010

If you have a mental illness, you know that there are many ways to stay stable. What works for you?

medication?
meditation?
exercise?
individual therapy?
group therapy?
routines?
family support?
support of friends?
support from case workers or other professionals?
something else?

I use medication and meditation mostly. I used to exercise a great deal, but I moved from one side of town to another and away from my favorite park. I stopped walking, and I miss it.

I also get a lot of support from family and a few friends. I have an excellent case worker and therapist. I tell them everything that’s going on. I also write a blog about my life and find that a good outlet.

How do you make use of the support available for you?
