I get really racy when I am manic. Can't stop moving and my mind is racing with unfinished thoughts. I often go for a walk that starts out fast and then I deliberately try to slow it down until I am forcing myself to walk in slow motion. Sometimes it helps for a while at least.

I talk really fast and do everything fast. My son helps me out by initiating what we call the slow motion game where when he says go we both do whatever we are doing in slow motion. Might be when we are doing the dishes or cooking dinner or just sitting and talking. When he says go it means he has noticed that I have speeded up again and thinks I need to slow down before I have heart failure or something. It works for a while at least and takes the edge off that can sometimes escellate into oppressed rage which then triggers depression for me.
