Just a thought.
Sometimes keeping a diary/ journal of behaviour and choices so that you can correlate choices to behaviours and how you coped with situations e.g. days when you eat loads of sugar/ skip meals vs. days when you eat regular meals; days you take your meds vs. days you don't; days when you get a good night's rest to days when you sleep sporadically or have insomnia..............I am not recommending experimenting- but sometimes when you have documented evidence on how you cope better- you can engage in self talk and convince yourself to keep your mental train "on the rails". It takes a while to accept it and you will have days that you slip but hopefully they will be in the minority.
