I know manic is crazy. I went all crazy and organized too. I think you might want to meditate if you get manic. It slows me down. There are a ton of guided meditations on YouTube.

I really hope things get better and if you need help I'm here.

Best of luck hun!

I learned about meditation through NA (a 12-step fellowship) I am a recovering addict. I've been clean for a little over 18 years. Prayer and meditation are part of the steps we work. We pray to ask for guidance and we meditate to quiet our minds so we can listen for "God's answers". It's just been hard lately, because how do you quiet the mnic mind, you know?? So,I have turned to music and aroma therapy in an attempt to relax. I really love Enigma (if you'e never heard them, try it, it's very soothing). It works some. It's just that right now, I spend a lot of my time alone in the bedroom with the doors closed and the music turned up.. I have a family - a wonderful husband and an 11 year old son who is autistist and likes to have mmmy's attention a lot. I get irritated so easil right now that I feel like I can't deal with him right now. That makes m feel lousy - guilty. What kind of mother thinks like that?? And I love hom so much. He's the only person on the planet that i KNOW I would gladly die for. Have you ever felt that way about anyone?? Anyway, I've talked long enough. Thanks for your response. This web-site has been a miricle for me. I'm hoping that once I get past this,I can stick around and help others the way you guys are helping me. Nothing would make me happier. - Mary / PaintedTurtle
