Hi Miss Laura,
Yes, that is how alot of people feel. I have spent the last few days feeling hyper myself.I know how uncomfortable it is. I wish I could bottle some of that energy and save it for when I need it. lol Last night I started to feel better. I was just recently diagnosed with bipolar II and I am trying to learn as much as I can about it. There is alot of excellent info online and on this site under conditions and disorders. I have found it very helpful to read many of the bipolar forums. You realize that you are far from alone & when you get help from therapy and meds that it is a manageable condition. I have just started meds last week. It is important to educate yourself so that you understand it. You have to remind yourself that the mania or hypomania or depression will pass & you will feel better and you should call for help or go to the ER if you need to.The best thing I ever did was to pick up the phone & call for help. It has changed my life. I also found that if I do something relaxing like taking a warm bath or a walk with my dog or sit and look through a magazine that it helps to calm me down. I did some painting this weeknd and that also helped. I hope you feel better today and remember that everyone here at PC cares about you.I'm sending a big hug to you.
