Personally, I find a better environment helps, whatever that may be for you.
Becoming healthy and fit helps.
Routine helps to be closer to stability.
Regular post analysis helps, watching for what could be triggers. Eg, Heavy metal playing before road rage or uncontrollable angry behaviour after little sleep the night before.
I feel a particular affinity to that song that goes,'nobody knows what it's like to be the bad man behind blue eyes. (I take that to mean sad eyes).
We can tell that you who are unafflicted can't understand it. Particularly by comments like,'suicide is for cowards' or 'they're just attention seeking', which I've heard so much in the past and present. ( not here.)
I find irrationality the hardest battle.
Suppose you had an argument with someone where your view was that 1+1=2 but they calculated the answer to be 3.
It's hard to trust your thoughts again when you realise weeks later that 1+1 does indeed equal 3.
No matter how well or good you feel, it's important, I feel, to remember the thin veil between you and utter hopelessness, despair, confusion, insanity, destruction, whatever.
I consider it to be the real thief in the night.
It's good to be ready and not to forget just because life is looking ok at the moment.
No cures or permanent remissions.
But I think you can widen the gaps.
I'm no expert, it's just my personal opinion.
Getting a diagnosis can seem to others like your just looking for some excuse for being unnormal, which you really could prevent by just being normal, like us.
That's why many of us don't seek help until we burnt every bridge in town... and the town and all it's inhabitants. :-)
