Mady, what medications are you taking? When I feel a hypomanic episode coming on I try to
  • avoid caffeine
  • eat regularly and properly
  • go to sleep at a regular hour (if I can't sleep I take a sleeping pill)
  • do a hard workout at the gym
  • Being around my horse naturally will calm me down, so I will go to the stables
  • Yoga can sometimes help
  • Surround myself with people that are fun to be around and aren't triggers
  • Go to a movie
