Do you know when you're fighting the battle of light and dark? For me the battle is a daily struggle with depression being one the major symptoms of my two disorders (PTSD and Bipolar). I want to talk about my coping skills and what has worked for me. Then go into details about each one. Coping skills:

1. Making art.

2. Reading books.

3. Playing video games.

This too can also make you burn out which is why you need at least three or more coping skills in your arsenal at one time. Playing video games my husband says is a stress reliever.
