I had a hypo manic episode last night. I haven't had one since I started meds. I'm so ashamed and embarrassed.

I didn't do anything too bad. I just got really drunk and ordered pizza.

Other parts of my life are spiraling out of control.

I used to see crying as therapeutic. Not anymore.

I wish that I had someone to cry to who would tell me that it's ok and we will future it out.

I terrified. Why can't I help me? Why can't anyone help me?

You shouldn't be ashamed by having a manic episode, we all have them. I've been on an everlasting hypomanic to manic episode since I started my new meds. When I feel like I'm loosing my mind or I feel hopeless I journal or find something to focus on other then what I'm feeling or thinking at the time. Maybe something like that can help.

Hopefully, this will pass quickly and you'll feel better.

Hey henrydavidtherobot- so sorry to hear! There's nothing to be ashamed about! Just like some people have high blood pressure, we have hypomanic espisodes! When I feel horrible, I find distraction is the key! Getting my mind off my mind and focusing my attention on others helps me! Best of luck and just hang in there!

I was hoping that I'd be managing them better by now.

That doesn't sound all that serious. What is a "hypo" manic episode? That doesn't sound that serious. Maybe it's just normal mood variation?
