close your eyes
roll your shoulders into your back pockets
take a deep breath through the mouth, exhale through the nose

The only thing I can do Is first think about how that person is going to feel after I say it, then count to ten. I know it sounds cliche but it works for me.

Dude, I hear you. I am going through a spell like that right now. On my meds, but still manic as hell. I hope you get some sound advice and pass it on to me.

I was told to count to 10 then think of something funny you had seen recently. I've had a hard time following that advice. I just explode.

Don't know it's kind of hair trigger. Like that now. Klonopin helps and doing something innane like watch t.v. or filing tax returns or doing paper work. Boring things.

sent you PM if you have questions just let me know

Looking back on it.It's another rites of passage.
Fall down, get up again.If people are understanding or if you can afford to risk yr heart each time to explain..it will ease.It takes a while and people also are changing around you too.
I used to really enjoy the mood when I was in it.Creative in Scathing.
Hated myself after.
Also...it would be a blur..I wouldn't be able to remember the details.

When I'm keyed up, the only thing that works is exercise. A walk or a run or hitting the weights seems to calm me down. Laugh, my exhaustion treatment. It seems to straighten out my body chemistry.

Have you tried visualization? Marsha Linehan teaches how to focus your energy on where the feeling is coming from and just feeling it, not acting on it, and then letting it go. I know it sounds terrible trite but it really does work. Best of luck to you!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
