Can somebody who has dealt with this longer than I have (about a year now) explain to me how it is possible to be near-suicidal and so hyper you can't stop moving at the same freakin' time? I don't get it....

And as long as I'm asking dumb questions, why does this always happen at night? Lately I'm hyper all day, start getting a teeny bit depressed in the evening, and then when it's time to go to bed, no matter how exhausted I am, I'm in hyperdrive. If I have to be manic, I'd really rather be in hyperdrive during the day when I need the energy! I don't get it....

This is one frustrating disease. I don't get it....

The two best bears! {{{{Candy}}}} {{{{Fuzzy}}}}

Can you use the energy to exercise or do some chores you don't normally feel like doing?

I hate being up in the night but I'm not usually hyper. Are you sure it's not a med thing? I had some trouble a couple months ago with being up, exhausted and hyper at the same time and it was my meds. I had to pace but I almost fell over on my face I was so tired. So sorry if that's how you're feeling. Did you ask your pdoc?

I have a pedometer; I guess I if I weren't tired I'd put it on and make me a "pace course" through my home :-) I recently bought these: http://jumpsnap.com/?gclid=CMO4j52y2o8CFQUoZAod0CNo8A :-) A "jumprope" without the rope! So you can do it inside.

Possiblity of a mixed state or rapid cycling? I would ask a professional more about it...

I have been "up", "down", "mixed", and "rapid cycling"

Some people are morning people and some are night...sounds like you may be a night person?

Frustrating yes...I wonder if you change some of your night time routine you might be able to change this...I use to catch a "second wind" then wake up late...

For the past week I have been going to bed at 10 p.m. no matter what...alarm goes off at 5:30 and out of bed by 6 a.m. no matter what...

I think to help go to bed...need some kind or routine...read a book, take a shower, have someone give you a massage...what ever is more relaxing...

In the morning...try to speed things up a little...setting deadlines to get things done by a certain time...

Just some things I've been thinking about...I'm mostly a morning person who turned night person who is trying to go back to morning...it does get frustrating and confusing....
