Hi, I just wondered if anyone could calm themselves down when they're hypermanic?

I have borderline personality disorder and my pdoc is also querying bipolar. I had an episode where I was completely losing the plot. I'm not normally violent but I was racing up and down from the living room to the kitchen kicking the wall and cupboard at each end.(I was also suicidal) I could not stop myself and was doing it for a while before my therapist arrived at my house. I couldn't stop at first but after a few 'laps' she told me to sit down and talk. By this point I was so exhausted I did (I also have M.E). Because I was able to do this she doesn't think I'm Bipolar!!??

I know everyone is different but I was wondering if you would mind sharing your experiences of being manic/ hypermanic and your ability to calm yourself down?

Thank you

xx
