I just am feeling a lot of different things right now and am consistently wishing for someone in my life that feels the same way, or has felt that way before so that there could be one person, just one singular person in my life that doesn't think I'm insane, but that gets it and just knows. Especially someone who's actually my age (22, in case you wondered.) I don't know which way is up right now and I feel like I need to go running until my lungs burn and I can barely breathe. I want to paint and draw and write and run and paint my nails and cry and sleep and talk. I'm depressed but I'm hyper and I don't know how to calm down. I don't know what to do. My sweater is inside out and my foot is asleep and I just want someone to understand where I'm at and help me to figure out where I'm going. Maybe this isn't even the right place for this, and if it isn't, I apologize. I'm just mixed up and I need to vent out some of this excess energy and emotion. I will probably regret this word vomit later, but right now it's what I need to do.

-Karen.

Hi, i'm 20.
And have been through very much the same thing recently. i then got a chest infection which bought me back down to a normal mood.

I'm 25 - and I can relate.
Are you on meds - can you get hold of your pdoc to change your meds a bit? Mania is hard work, and I'm glad you can notice that as exciting as mania may be, it is not a healthy place to be in.
Maybe going for a run and burning some energy off is a good starting point. But please contact your pdoc to amend your meds. What are you currently on?

And yes, this forum is for exactly your type of question - to ask for help, support and information

Thank you. Yes, I'm on 3/25 Symbyax and Klonopin. I started the Symbyax just a few days ago (the 18th). Eventually I calmed down but I had to take a couple of Klonopin and a vicodin to get to sleep. Not good.

Thank you so much. I'm sorry about your chest infection, those are never fun.
