First how do you deal with the hypo/manic days?

Currently, I throw my headphones on playing music with a heavy base to drowned out both the internal noises and the external noises. The base seem to let me track time better and become less irritable because I'm in my own little world. I don't work so I try to sit on PC and read posts until I understand them and try to write as cohesive as possible.

What medications would you say would be the best to ask about?

The only one that has worked for me is lamictal and viibryd. Celexa was wonderful, until I was clenching my jaw so tight that when I woke in the morning it took about 2 min. to open my mouth and my 'resting state' of my mouth was clenched teeth.

one very close friend seems to not want to accept the fact that I am the way I am

I use a modified version of spoon theory where (hypo)mania steal future 'spoons' leaving us with no 'spoons' while depressed. However most people won't get it. I'm sorry but you need to really look at that friendship as it really does not sound like an equal unconditional friendship.

how do you keep up with daily activities and just saving money instead of spending it?

That depends on your daily activities. I have a list of daily hygiene hanging in my bathroom and I'm not 'allowed' to leave the bathroom in the morning until that list is completed. I try to minimize daily activities. If you tell us the daily activities you need to accomplish we may be able to help more.

As for saving money if you have someone you trust add them as a bill. Basically decide how much you want to put aside a month and add that to your bills. Give that money to a friend or family member that you trust to hold for you as a in case of an emergency situation. Usually your suppose to save 10-20% of your gross income trying to have 3-6 months of income for emergencies. Now this is in an idealistic world.
