Slow down. The voices can't speak clearly when your like this. I smoke cigs, run around like a chicken with its head cut off, scream yell then I take 3mg of lorazepam

Yes, drinking lots of water is normal in mania. The metabolism increases to a point where we dehydrate more quickly. What works to bring mania under control for me is anti-psychotics or tranquilizers, or both.
No, we can't stop it without some serious help!

Well when I get hypomanic, I take advantage of it and clean the house before I do anything else. I never noticed myself drinking more . I'll have to pay more attention, I rarely drink water, usually drink tea.

    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...
