I don't seem to be able to sit still at all. I was depressed for months, until I switched taking all my Geodon at night instead of half in the morning, with the blessing of my pdoc. Now I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin. I can't focus on any one thing for very long. If it was warmer out, I would go walk, but I don't feel like getting that cold. I started doing dishes, since it's something productive, but I couldn't finish them cause I got bored. Even online I'm bouncing from site to site trying to find something to hold my interest for a while. Does anyone have any suggestions for something to do?

Sometimes when that happens to me I just go drive around in my car and listen to music.

I am a crafter so when I get hypomanic I end up buying lots of craft supposed and doing crafts for hours. Knitting, hemp jewelry, lanyard, etc. it gives me something to do and keeps me out if trouble. I cook too.

That happened to me when I was on Abilify. It was incessant and awful. I was literally on the beach in Malibu and I just wanted to leave I was so uncomfortable. It was not really like manic feelings. It was a different kind of thing No advice really. Recents pdocs have told me it was akathisia. I was so relieved once I went off. I felt like I had my life back even though I got depressed in the withdrawal.

I don't think this is akathasia. I had that when I was on a higher dose of abilify. I think I'm just getting really manic

Oh well that sucks too. Talking on the phone helps me sometimes with that. But it is hard to find enough people to talk to. haha. Depends on the kind of mania but I can't often focus on anything like cooking or something. Halfway through I just walk away from the whole thing bored stiff. Other kinds of mania i fill the freezer with baked goods. That is pretty awesome afterwards

Have both the akithesia (can't sit still, can't nap/rest, can't watch tv/a movie, can't read a book, etc etc) and the urge to "crawl out of my skin" thing going on, plus that feeling of "I just don't want to be, anymore. I just can't be."
Such cruel affliction. Makes no sense. |

Are you seeing your pdoc soon? Just looking at your last couple of threads, you seem to be all over the place. Not judging, just worried.
edit: apologies for assuming, just remembered not everyone here is on meds.

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