First down period since being up... [View all]

As I posted before I've been very good recently and have been making some big strides. Today is my first down since then, about 2 weeks ago. I'm hoping this doesn't have to do with switching medication the timing is right for that , if it does I'll have to go back to the old one which costs a lot. At any rate hope this doesn't last too long.

How do YOU deal with downs during up periods? I realize that a lot of people here are very very depressed and don't feel up at all. Believe me I've been there, but trust me as corny as it sounds it DOES get better. Just give it time and talk to those you love! For those who HAVE been up or made big progress, what do you do during your down moments to ensure they don't spread or get deeper?
