I've been manic or hypomanic for over a month now and I feel like I'm starting to crash. How can I stop it besides taking my meds?

I hope you don't crash. For me doing activities that I enjoy like going to the stables, hanging out with positive friends; and exercising really help lift my mood. I also use a SAD lamp and that really helps. When my mood is low I crave high carb, high sugar foods, but indulging in that makes me feel worse, so I try to avoid those types of foods.

Yes - get your meds adjusted. Come down slowly and hopefully stop in the 'stable' area.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
