Any tips that will help me come out of one of my manic episodes? I can identify when I'm starting to spiral and most of the time I can pull myself out of it. But sometimes it gets away from me so fast that I struggle to remain sane and logical. My poor husband will get worried about me and if he gets upset it just irritates me more. My irritation overrides any empathy I would or should feel. Any tips would be welcomed! Thx!
I really feel for you. Unfortunately, each persons mania is different. What I found helped me was to stay home and not spend money because I would go out on big spending sprees. Also, I would do the opposite of what my inclination is to do. Self care is so important. I had to use meds. As I would go into psychosis. I was unaware that I was manic. All the best
Thank you for the input! I retreated from everything for several days so I wouldn't get out of control. I find that trying to convey to others what I'm going through mentally is exhausting especially when I'm trying to keep my impulses from taking over. I also have borderline personality disorder and I feel like I'm getting hit from all sides. I'm taking medication but it's not a foolproof fix. Sometimes I can't even stand to be in my own skin.
