If you use medication, be certain that it's the very best available for you. Have levels checked regularly, and discuss any changes with your psychiatrist.

Call your pdoc BEFORE a mood episode gets out of control. (Says she who is hypomanic as we speak.)

This too shall pass.
You've survived every episode thus far and you will make it through this one too.

Go to bed at the same time all the time, and get out of bed at the same time every day. Even if you are just laying there.
Don't indulge in great ideas, purchaces, making major changes, etc... without at least waiting a month. If the desire still persists... then consider it more seriously. Never give in! hahahahaha
