I once read about this experimental treatment for severe depression (in hosp setting) where the patients missed a couple of nights sleep...probably would do the trick (not recommending it)

I've heard some ppl say staying up all night may snap you into it. I can't wait until we find a way to control it. We will rule the world!!!

Drink some Red Bull or take some fat burners and exercise, it may get things going. Just don't take the fat burners w/ the Red Bull.

Ummmm... buy an "eight-ball" of coke. Sit there for an hour and snort the whole 1/8th of an ounce... then, clean your house, wash your car, vacuum up the dust bunnies, be cool to your kids, make love to your b/f or husband, drink a bottle of Jack Daniels and phone up all your friends and apologize for not contacting them sooner... then, go find a party!
WORKS FOR ME! (LOL!)

i think that we all prefer the manic side, right? the getting of things done, the ease of communication randiness, etc.

maybe try to get your thoughts racing? almost like an emotional hyperventilation. think. think faster. think fastest. talk. talk faster. talk fastest.

good luck, and if you find something, you can probably bottle and sell it to all of us.

YOu have to remember mania is not automatically mean happy. That is euphoric mania. You can also be dysphoric manic.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
