While you wait for the meds to kick in I have a large collection of games on my ipad that dont require much thought or action. I will simply change the room im sitting, i spend huge amount of time on my bed so changing to the study or back deck helps.

What do you do?

I read celebrity Gossip, research Bipolar/Depression, text friends, workout, go on dating sites & plan on reading the Harry Potter series from the beginning. I also like to read this forum. I tried to self medicate w/ my fave high calorie foods but the thought was always better than the event. Seems habit forming & I don't want to gain weight. Hard to find things I enjoy these days. Drinking is a bad idea for me too. A love interest encouraged me to drink more than I knew I should a couple days ago & now I feel like I have brain inflammation. Oh I also like sun bathing.

I pace a lot and go from playing games to listening to music to surfing the net, sometimes all at once as I cannot seem to concentrate on one thing at a time. For me I get super restless so the feeling inside is excruciating. I just keep rotating activities, or lying in bed curled up in a ball, waiting for it to pass. And it always does.
