Six days ago I was released from the hospital after a manic episode. I'm concerned about falling into depression in the weeks ahead, a pattern that's common for me. Any tips that might help to prevent it?

Q: How do I Stay out of Depression After Hospitalization

That is tough. There are the easy answers the hospital gives you, then you have to fight to practice it. After 6 months I miss how healthy I felt when I first got out of the hospital. The only tips I can give that I wish I stayed with, are... Eat healthy. Really do some meditation, etc. It seems so easy but it is so hard. I figure if I had kept up those good routines, the depression I'm in wouldn't have such a foothold.
Hope this helps a bit.
