Hypomania/BiPolarII

Hey

Thanks for sharing.

I feel like you could maintain a journal, to reflect back on your situation and to be in more control.

Also, you could do little stretching or intermittent indoor work out sessions to use that energy, so that you can eat properly maybe.

I think, i may have bipolar symptoms but I've never been diagnosed with anything because I've not shared my situation with a professional yet. That sort of stuff happens to me, I think.

I feel like you could try having contact with something that keeps you in the loop better. Maybe, some 'growth path friend' or some thing else which you think could be revelant for you.

Hope you are having healthy lunches. 🔆

I feel you. I’ve been having mixed episodes lately through a med change.

When I feel hypomanic, I’ll run or exercise until I get tired. Sometimes I’ll even lean into and channel that weird hyper focus onto some type of planning (travel, finance, etc) in spreadsheets. I might never use it again but it keeps me occupied.

sometimes it makes me feel bad though, like uncomfortable. My doctor prescribed clonopin for those moments. I rarely take them. Just on flights really, but last week I took one because I felt so uncomfortable after feeling that mania for a while. It helped, and that manic “switch” hasn’t flipped back up yet.

I hope this is helpful. You’re not alone!
