The most imnportant things I can state are: get on a schedule (all activities, work, meals, play) and STAY on it, take your medication (if taking) every day, even weekends, and try to find someone to understand and listen to your feelings. Lot’s of web chats are out there. Good luck, drop a question if you like.
