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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
