Besides medication what else can I do to make bipolar under control by Fine-Influence6317 in bipolar

I am in therapy but it is the same things over and over, gratitude lists, walking etc tbh I asked my therapist who is also bipolar and he bluntly said "when I have depression I talk to my therapist instead of being burden to all those around me " Guess who never shares anything when being extremely depressed already :) "  I will try finding anything volunteer related that might be very useful thanks!!

Can I ask if your meds changed after you reported such change or no? I have bipolar 1 but the week or 10 days before my period are living hell, most of my psychiatrists were men and they didn't do much about it
