you guys, I'm a little scared
my personality is changing so much -
so many thoughts and new feelings.
at times super energetic but then also
like I can't deal with my agression feeling - super energetic.
I wish I could talk to my therapist today.
I feel indeed like an unlit match
but I will be ok - the last two weeks have been super intense
they have taught me a great deal. I may indeed may need to
make another course in life.
I can do that. I'll take a prn - but I think I need to exercise some mindfulness
to deal with energies -

manic episodes are one of my own psychoticks. one of my meaner psychoticks, at that. manic episodes can result in my tearing down all progress in my recovery and structure in my life. they happen most often as a result of recovery breakthroughs and/or intense series of events in my life.
it is a most excellent moment for exercising mindfulness and perhaps a bit of extra physical exercise to channel the extra energy of mania. the alanon sponsor who helped me work through my first successful management of this phenom often told me,
"on your mark
"get set
"sit."
you have, indeed, been on a roll of breakthrough epitomes. enough to set the senses a-whirl. sit a spell, markus. give them time to settle and process. easy does it. small steps, big faith and lots of prayer.
I'm so sorry you're feeling a bit out of control. Practicing mindfulness sounds like a good plan, and. I like Arfie's suggestion to exercise to release excess energy....maybe go for a walk. Also, listening to some music might help. Hope you're feeling more grounded soon! Please keep us posted.
thanks so much Arfie and Susan!! I <3 U both!
Good suggestions from Arfie and Susan. You might also consider avoiding all sources of stimulation for a bit, including computer screens, bright lights, and music. A quiet, dim room and meditation can be helpful. I just said a prayer for you. Hope you feel better soon! Hugs.
thank you so much judy. you make me want to cry. thank you thank you xx
i'll go relax - i just made some vanilla peppermint tea. :
Feeling a lot of aggression and a lot of energy sounds to me like a 'mixed state' sweetie
I would track your mood for the next few days and if it continues I would call your pdic
I hope that the prn helps
Big hug of comfort and peace...xo
Thanks Janet!
Walk barefoot in the grass around the monastery and ground yourself. You will feel better after you equalize your energy with mother Earth's.....
Hugs
That is so cool Bob! It sounds wonderful. Thank you man!!!
