Ohhh....I SO understand. When I feel bursting with energy I try to channel it into something useful like cleaning my house! That sounds boring but it isn't because when manic I really get into the details like scrubbing the floorboards and wiping down the walls...then, when the mania subsides I am left with a clean house instead of a huge CC bill : ). BTW...I started taking Lithium and have not had an episode in about 6 weeks so my house isn't sparkly, lol, but, I feel SO much better. cheers...
