If you're interested in trying meds, maybe get an appointment lined up cuz sometimes there's a long wait.
If you don't want meds, try exercise, sex (with your boyfriend only haha!), relaxing herbs, music, hiking? Watch out for anger outbursts, reckless behavior, spending too much money, the usual hypo/mania stuff.

Hi there
not sure if I'm replying correctly with the quote.. Still very new to this. I really appreciate your reply, it's comforting to know I'm not the only one dealing with the restless side of hypo/mania!
I had no idea that's (hypo) what I was experiencing for years, until I had a true manic episode which was absolutely enthralling (other than the horrible credit card debt I racked up). I've been considering medicating for my anxiety, think that exacerbates the negative aspects of hypo/mania and intend to set up a psych appt.
Thank goodness for certain herbal supplements!
That's one of the easiest ways to calm myself, just last night going home feeling like a ball of pent up negative energy, sobbing/crying/wailing very unattractively in my car all the way from work, and all I had to do was relax with a bowl on the couch and the mood change was almost instantaneous.
Do you use prescription meds?
