How can I get out of this down mood?

Question:

I'm bipolar and I do take my medications regular as prescribed. I'm usually very level. However, some times I still have slighty manic days and once in awhile depressed days. Well, today is one of those depressed days and it sucks. My girlfriend is on her way down (we have a long distance relationship and only see other on weekends) and I'm in a horrible mood. I feel negative, tired, lethargic and all the rest of depressive symptoms. So is there a way that I can lift my spirits before she gets here?

Answers:
I dont know about you but music has a HUGE impression on my moods. This sounds dangerous but I go out driving and turn up the music really loud (usually rap hip hop or R&B or an alternative station that has a lot of loud music on)and roll down the windows and drive faster than i should, but it gives me a rush and my adrenaline starts pumping. I also live in California and can drive past the coast fairly quickly, and the sunshine and air are great to get out in. Also, exercise is good, as well as cleaning the house and eating a balanced diet. Getting things done, finishing projects, etc... it is like getting a gold star as a kid.

Call your doctor, moron.
