Although I'm undiagnosed I do have symptoms and a family history of the disorder. The number one thing I did in my adult life to stabilize myself is this combo: no coffee, no cigarettes, no alcohol, moderate exercise, regular sleep and lots of fruits and veggies.
If you think that path might work for you, take it slowly. Quit the coffee (and cigarettes if you smoke). That will help you get back to a normal sleep schedule. Cut your drinking way down after that. I'm talking 1 - 2 drinks a week. After you've done that for a couple months try adding in some exercise.
You should also see a professional, but in my experience (via my family) they tend to focus on medicating you. That may or may not be necessary for you, but the above will definitely help you out.
