In mania, I do my best to listen to what the people who love me suggest. I really don't know how to help or stop it or even see it sometimes. I wish I had answers.....my husband suggests things like "call your doctor, take an Ativan, take some Tylenol PM, take a hot bath, stop hyperfocusing on internet interactions and news, call my doctor, call my doctor, call my doctor, take meds, talk it out with people I trust, don't spend, listen to audiobooks, find a healthy distraction, stay off PC". All my husbands suggestions are helpful when I'm capable of listening.
