Ah, rapid cycling. it's a curse, and a blessing, i tells ya. depending how long each episode lasts.

yea. video games help because it lets you obsess over something not harmful! Also, you need to stick around people; trusted loved ones preferably, but I have found my self wondering into a random coffee shop when like this, and ending up okay after a bit. Trust me. You don't even have to say a thing! Just order some tea, grab mr. book, and let time slip by.
