I'm just keeping going right, now, on a hypomania for a while now, 3 or 4 weeks.
It feels like its peaking, been on one ALL day.
Went to work, got back, 1hr workout (given my fitness level, i'm not sure how that was possible), washed up, the washing for my whole house (6 people, and i'm one of the kids!) SPRING cleaned my room, we're talking hoovering and all sorts, watched Burlesque and tried to copy the dancing.
Now i dont know what to do now, if i stop is it gone? I'm starting to feel an emptiness creeping on, and i feel i need stuff to do to prevent that, what happens when i stop having things to do?

I could sure use some of your extra energy! Could you send some out here across the pond??

But seriously...it sounds like it might be a good idea to try to slow down just a bit. It doesn't have to be all out straight or bleak and empty - you could take to your nice, newly cleaned room with a cup of herbal tea and listen to some soothing music, or write in a journal, or maybe try to meditate or do some breathing exercises. You can still be "doing things" without adding fuel to the fire and spinning higher and higher and risk going into a full-blown mania. Above all, don't forget to breathe. After a while, I start to feel out of breath just sitting still when I'm manic - like there's a motor revving inside just on its own. Try to slow that down a bit.

And once you're done doing all of that....some sleep might be just the thing....

Thats very good advice, I'm taking my ipod to my room, and i'm going to write in my diary. Its so hard when you're up and you know the only way is down and you dont know when or how fast its going to come.
