Hmm... now you've really got me thinking.
Well, I have bipolar personality, a little depression, anxiety, obsession, compulsion and some explosive anger issues. These are some things that work for me (a little):
Getting professional help.
Accepting that I am and being conscious of when I am getting off-course.
My medication: Lamictal and Wellbutrin (I think I need some other too.)
My spouse's support . When I get frustrated and she says, "Calm down, everything will be ok."
My friend's support. He says calmly "I wouldn't worry about it" when I get a little obsessed or angry about something.
My other friend's support. He says "Dont speak the words because then it manifests itself." (Dont know if that one will work for you?)
And mostly, listening to those people and wanting to do the things they say. That part is all up to me.*Does she know she needs help? Is she getting help? If not, does she want to get help?
