I think I may be going manic?

Question:

I feel it in my stomach and my mind is starting to race again. Its because of this girl I like and something that happened between me and her a day ago. I dont want this, I hate the manic portion of this fucked up mental bull crap. I'm bi-polar.. I dont want this. Any advice?

When Im manic, I turn into a living cartoon character. Something I would like to avoid : )

Answers:
get meds. i did. its the only thing that is helping my manic episodes. it will get worse if you dont act now. i have lived with this my entire life, and only in the past few years started to not be afraid to get help. it runs in the family, and i didnt want to be one more casualty of the family crazies.. but since meds my life is getting under control. now you may go thru severel different meds before you find one thats right for you. thats ok. dont neglect yourselff.

Are you on meds?Try going for a jog,sometimes exercise helps.

I hope you have a therapist, because non-bipolar people have the same issue (well, me anyway) when ruminating about someone, but have the boundaries available to stop the obsessing.

Are you taking meds? If not, now might be the time (at least temporarily).

Kudos to you for identifying your state, though! I'm rooting for you.

Zoloft is not helpful for bipolar- in fact, it could put you into a manic state- mood stabilizers (depakote, lithium, neurontin) are indicated. Xanax is just for symptoms of anxiety. Please check with your md.

You need to smoke loads cannabis N chill..

dude thats fucked up...go see a Phycayatrist
