I know its the time when I feel the best, but I am thinking if I can control both the ups and the downs a bit better...maybe i won't be as much of a train wreck emotionally. So my question is: what are the non-med solutions you use to help keep hypomania in check once you are ALREADY in that state (non-preventative). I am thinking about ditching my morning coffee? but what else?
My pdoc doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with hypo mania and I generally think its fun except for the lack of sleep. If you're not having fun is it perhaps full mania?
