This can be: Very challenging. It is essential that you work with a top notch psychiatrist who is experienced in dealing with bipolar disorder. Pyschological support is also key. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and drugs. Take medications as prescribed. Keep your sleep time sacred. Keep you providers posted if you are moving toward depression or mania. Take care.
