If there are any tricks to stoping an episode of Mania or depression?

deleted_user 12/05/2007

I have tried to tell him there is not

you would be amazed what stopping your meds can do when your depressed...but i dont recommend it and who wants to end a mania just learn to control it to make it productive and watch out for the signs you are about to crash

depression can sometimes be stopped by taking antidepressants or not sleeping. But this should be done under Dr's care because you may get manic

extreme exercise slows down my mania and perks me up a bit. I'm talking at least seven miles of running or fifteen miles of hiking.

The right meds should be doing that for you. What are you taking?

I journal it is not elaborate but I can grasp when I am going to go down better. At this point with my drugs I dont get manic.

Tell him that sex works sometimes, then when it doesn't work for you blame his sex for that.

This way he will stay interested in your bipolar disorder.

Between you and me, sleep helps a lot. But when I am manic sleep is the last thing in the world I can do.

i made this account because i hope this reaches someone who can understand. I feel immense shame and guilt over my past behavior while manic. I have ruined relationships with friends and family members, gotten tattoos that i dont want, done things that make me cringe. The weight of the self hatred gets to be too much sometimes. I feel like a burden. Nobody understands. I hate myself today.
