Sometimes you try all that "good stuff" and nothing works, or at least nothing works enough. Meds keep me from being suicidal and therapy has given me coping mechanisms to recognise some of my bad episodes, but neither work to stop my emotional meltdowns because my brain is telling me that everyone hates me and I'm doing everything wrong. If I fail to recognise I'm going into a spiral before it's too late to take a mental step back and use a distracting mechanism, there's nothing I can do to stop that spiral.

I'm doing CBT and have been for five years. It has helped. A lot of the time, I recognise unhelpful thoughts before they go far enough to send me into a downswing, but there's a point where by the time I realise I'm not thinking rationally, I'm pretty much Wile E Coyote over the edge of a cliff.

I guess the point is that while there are ways to help, there's nothing that's going to helps enough that I don't have to go through the crappy days. Which felt like the point of the confession to me; there are things that help, but there will always be bad days and the mantra is something OP uses to get through those bad days. Lots of things help me manage my condition, but it's just that: managing. It's not going to go away.
