What have you done to help yourself?

The other day during my psychiatrist visit I was told that my anxiety medication was to be stopped. I was devastated as it takes so much for me to even swallow a pill and these had helped me so much. Plus, I was undertaking them (being responsible I suppose).

I suffer such bad anxiety that I feel like I am going to lose my mind. Anyway, I had some hidden away so I am cutting them into tiny quarters. The main thing is though that she said I need to do things to help myself. Exercise, routine and that sort of thing.

What things have you done to help yourself with say for example depression, anxiety whether long or short term. How did it pan out for you? (I am bipolar).
