I think that coffee really feels great when we are a bit hypo but also contributes to hypo. So can going off our meds all at once for four days (if I want to go off a med, I do it one at a time and gradually but when you step down, it can affect your sleep). Though we want to keep going we also need to force ourselves to stop looking at screens at a certain time in the evening then go to bed at the same time every day. When I find myself laying there, I used to take a Xanax then (but have only taken one/half a pill since July 29th--I slowly weened myself off by laying their and trying to meditate in bed to help the racing thoughts but will take it if I really need too). Doing too much overtime at work can definately make us hypo--been there. It is important to stick to certain routines. It might not stop hypo or mania but IMO it will lessen how bad they get. Try to calm your schedule down? Maybe have a day where you do nothing but walking, watching TV or whatever it is that tends to calm you down? You know you are going over the edge, are there things that you have done in the past that help you stabilize (drugs, foods, activities, therapy, warm bath before bedtime, whatever works)?
