Usually, I don't pay too much attention to my feelings and whether or not I am becoming manic or depressed or somewhere in the middle. Right now I can feel the mania beginning. I am getting anxious, everything is irritating and I just want to be outside doing something. I have all these ideas about what I want to accomplish, but I know that they are just fleeting ideas and that in a few weeks/months I won't care about doing whatever it was I was so gung-ho about doing now.
What do you do if you can feel it coming on?

if I was feeling wise I would call my pdoc and get an immediate med adjustment . I am right with you right now, feeling very hypo and just hoping full blown mania stays at bay, me-not being wise wants to enjoy it a little , but that might be disasterous.
Thanks for this!

Yeah, I am in the same boat, I want to enjoy it, but don't like when I come down! Crash and burn!

You really should call your Pdoc...I didn't recently, cuz I was enjoying it also. But after 2-3 weeks it went bad, very bad....into full blown mania.

Good, trust me you're doing the right thing... my recent episode got so out of hand by the time meds were changed that meds had to be increased several times and I still stayed manic for almost 2 weeks AND I was in the hospital. Now I can't even go back to work until I'm completely stable...however long that will take?

Yeah, I really want the mania, but don't want the crash afterwards and really don't want to end up in the hospital!
