For those who don't completely hate their manic or hypomanic times...how do you adjust to coming down and living in the slow real time? I know it's good not to be too wired and racing, but this real world seems to move awfully slow. I can see the benefits of sleeping more than an hour a night - but I also miss all that time and energy. Now things just seem tired and boring and slow and it sure doesn't make me want to stick to the meds....I know things didn't go well with out them, but how do you adjust to the trade off? Brilliant ideas just don't seem to come one at a time at a manageable speed no matter the improved ability to focus on them. I miss the ideas. I miss that everything was really interesting. I haven't found out how to make slow interesting. Does anyone know how to make that work? I think the mania kept me pushing forward and now I feel like I'm just marking time, spinning my wheels, watching the clock tick....slowly. I'm open to suggestions that are legal and nonhabit forming.
