Sooo... I'm fairly certain that Abilify is causing mania right now... a very dysphoric mania. (Irritability and all that fun stuff.)
Anyway, my grandma just moved in with us. She also just got out of IP for psychotic depression combined with dementia. The sundowning from her dementia is quite bad because she gets confused at night. She keeps thinking my room is the bathroom, so she opens my door and starts looking for the toilet. lol. (Poor grandma.) She's done this about 5 times already, so I keep getting woken up. (Not her fault, though.. and I'm not mad at her. It's sundowning confusion.) Between stress and very little sleep, I know that my mania is being fueled. What about you? |

Getting little or no sleep each night is probably the top fuel for mania. That and all the caffeine that I am used to when i'm depressed becomes like dynamite when i am manic, if I don't cut back till the episode is over.

Stress is probably my biggest trigger for mania. My latest manic episode was fueled by my husbands fathers death. I just can't handle stress.
I also can't take antidepressants, they have majorly fueled my manic episodes in the past. When I looked back after being diagnosed all of my worst manic episodes occurred after my primary care doc put me on some sort of antidepressant.

Stress and lack of sleep will definitely fuel one up. So will an obsession with anything.

No sleep and stress fuel my hypomanic/manic episodes.

Abilify made me really manic...but usually paranoid delusions/paranoia fuels my manic episodes.

Music fuels my mania. I listen to really fast, upbeat music and I just get so enthralled and become one with the music. It's amazing.
I haven't felt like that in over a year. I miss it sometimes.

Lack of sleep, a lot of stress, Celexa (not sure about other antidepressants) and hip hop music. As young people say I get "crunk". I start thinking I can dance and I "really" can not. I will try to twerk. I think I have the body of Nicki Minaj lol
