Hello, all. I have bipolar type 2 and am currently in a manic episode that has been going on for approximately 3ish days. I can't seem to slow down my speech, have delusional thinking, am yelling at people for no reason other than to feel the energy bubble out of me, and am incredibly irritated. I'm snapping at my boyfriend over literally nothing and embarrassing him in front of people. I'm aware of what I'm doing, but for some reason I feel like I can't stop myself. I don't know what to do.
There isn't a lot of info on the web for how to relieve oneself from manic episodes, so I was hoping those with experience with the disease might be able to help. I can't exercise because a few medical, physical conditions are at their worst right now, and I can't properly express myself in a creative way. They were my two go-to's for days like this.
Any ideas?
