while your dr is out go to the er.. they can get him stablized with some medication. good luck.

He needs some medical attention. Mania cannot be stabilized without medication (at least not that I know of.) I just went through a manic episode & had my meds adjusted, but with him being only 11 I have no idea what meds are safe for him to take, etc. Best of luck!

This might sound silly, but I was the same way when I was that age...hve had BP since birth. I can remember that I always just liked to be held when I felt that bad...a comforting hug or touch from my mom or dad. I guess it was just a way of knowing that they were there and even though they didn't really understand, I know they were still there.

He needs to know you Love him no matter what. He has to have meds. You need family therapy to know how to deal. Blessings!

Are you also BP? makes a big difference on advice to you.

no im nt bp. i was on anti dep. meds for awhile a few years ago.

Then i agree with the others. Go to the hospital and explain your dilema they will hopefully give him a seditive to help calm him. You may want to take one yourself. It will bandaid him until you see his doc. I hope all works out for you I'm sorry for what you're going through.

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...
