SmokedNeptune Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Starting to kinda get in a really hyped up mood and I don't know what I can do to try to make it less of a problem. I'm going through a really hard emotional time right now because my dad just died. I'm really worried this is going to be the most intense (hypo?)manic episode I've had.

ovOidampUle Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Limit the things that make me manic: staying up late, oversocializing. Channel the energy into short term projects that I'd been planning to do anyway. Avoid making any unalterable decisions or purchases or starting new relationships Plan to be depressed when the party is over; so I limit the amount of commitments I make. Repeatedly making and breaking commitments can be socially disruptive. But the longer I'm hypomanic, the more normal it feels, the more I'm going to slip up.

mcjimjam Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 When I'm being responsible I might let my pdoc know, so they can alter meds. Sometimes I've just started taking more lithium, which has seemed to bring me back down, but I know it's bad to do that without pdoc approval. otherwise I try to limit going places, get regular sleep as much as possible. Just Chill by myself. Staying away from others can prevent embarassing myself. I find my PRN Valium helps, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
