O.K. You may need to call for some help. You sound manic as hell to me. Go do what you want to do for the morning. No Harm their. As long as its in a safe area, after you see the sun you need to see the doc about some med ajustment. Stay safe. Let us know.

Crow

I agree with Crow you probably need some help right away you don't want this mania to escalate, contact your pdoc this morning I sure would, not sure if you are hypomanic but if you are heading towards mania this will be rough, I don't know your history. My meds keep me from going manic I get hypomanic and I can usually manage it its usually only for shortterm I have Klonopin (anti-anxiety) i can take, but when my hypomanias last too long I call my pdoc and he's often increased my Lithium temporarily what a relief that has been. I wish you all the best, keep posting we are here for you

I agree with Crow, you need to call your pdoc and tell him/her what's going on. You definitely sound manic to me, but your pdoc will tell you for sure. Exercise, go for a run or a brisk walk. It will help with that excess energy. As for your racing thoughts, try counting backwards from 100. That will help you focus on something. I know someone who swears by it. Watching your breathing. Try to keep it slow. I hope this passes soon.
