Manic episode

And also no concentration?

Walks or running through a big field can help you feel free when you don't want to sit still

I was feeling that I went for a walk and took a cold shower. I don’t know why the cold really felt good because I was feeling so uncomfortable and restless

This doesnt always work but when I feel myself spiraling I usually use the 478 method. Breath in for 4 seconds, hold it for 7, breath out for 8. But sometimes it make you soffocate still kinda works tho.

So these thoughts and feelings are very real for many. You have a few suggestions. I recommend that when your thoughts are racing, think of the wheel of a bycicle when jacked up in the rear and the more you spin it, the faster it gets. So, if you stick a cog (or stick) in between the spokes what happens? The cog makes the wheel stop. So, use this analogy and identify at least 3 “behavioral cogs” in which you will use to stop the racing thoughts or anxiety. One behavioral cog may be counting from 50-1. Counting backwards uses a different part of your brain. Also, someone mentioned both imagery and deep breathing. You must find what works best for YOU and be consistent. You’re a fighter cat so, you know how to get a job done!

I entertain myself. I turn on music, if that doesn’t help, I reach out to talk to my friend. That usually does the trick, if he is not available then I read or play apps in my phone. The one activity that will really calm me down is watching Netflix or a good movie. Once that I’m calm, I also incorporate a cleaning project while finish watching the show.

I am a musician, so I usually play piano for hours or pace around. I will smoke weed (all day) to attempt to chill out.
