About a month ago I was in a hyper-manic state and often I want to do home improvements in this state (or drastically change my appearance...basically I desire change when hypo). Anyway- I decided I was going to remodel my kitchen (which could use some updates). I tore down a wall and bought paint, countertop paint, hardware etc. and Along with the torn down wall I now have no cabinet doors which I took down to clean a sand. I have since been out of this hypo state and I did force myself to sand the doors, but my kitchen is now in such a mess of remodel and I have no desire to finish the job. All the work I planned out to do which seemed so easily doable is in reality a LOT of work that will most likely take months (not the 2 days I thought I could do it in).
I now have no idea what to do. The thought of all the work is overwhelming. We don't have the money to hire out. Do I force myself to finish? I am so ticked off that I started this. The other thing I did during this hypo state was make out with my manager at work while both our spouses were inside the building so I guess that is a luttle worse than a messy kitchen.

Is there a way you can just clean up and get a kitchenette?

Yeah the superman feeling is a blast while it happens .. then the bottom falls out .. Well personally I would say just work on the mess as little bit everyday,,, Eventually you will get it back into shape.
I think just about every Bipolar has done some type of thing like that. The clean up after an episode is never a good thing .. Sorry your in this mess.

Yeah, do you have a couple of friends who could come over and at least sit with you for moral support or maybe even help?
Please don't make out with anyone at work...especially with spouses around. That is how you get shot.

Oh my gosh! I ripped down walls of sheet rock and painted a lot of rooms in my house. You tube, online diy sites, pintrest, or books may be able to help. It just took me a lot of time then I married a contractor so it's a rental. Break things down into smaller projects. First complete the areas you use the most. Don't give yourself a strict deadline. Maybe if you play music, take a lot of breaks, and some vitamins help with energy and concentration like B 12 and ginkgo.

Making out? Guess it also happens often, more or less? I would fear the manager connection could make it more complicated. Maybe someone on a city bus would have been best
