I rarely sit either normally.
I don't think this is my meds because it's a pattern I get into, last time it was a severe mixed episode, this time manic. I am really thinking it's because my thoughts are so discomposed that I can't function like that.
Timing is a good idea, worth a shot, but I don't know how well that will work since I don't realize till I'm in the midst of it.
Thank you all for your input.

Sounds like a habitual pattern that needs to be broken.... can you add any fresh experiences to your life to break it? Maybe head to the beach? The mountains? The library? the park? Anything to break the pattern. I think that the more you do it, the easier it is to fall into it every day as well....
Yes, it does sound like a manic episode. When i go into one, i pace from one task to the next all day and can't get anything finished. What you're describing however does not sound constructive at all and 13 hours is a LOT.
