😁<\/span><\/span> 👿<\/span><\/span> I end my euphoric mania by ________.<\/p>\n I will go first:<\/p>\n 1. Focusing on sleep. I have to be in bed by 10 on my mania days. I NEVER want to be there at that time, but all of my manic disasters in the past were at night. By sticking to this plan as soon as I see the first signs of mania, I can stop my mania very quickly.<\/p>\n 2. If I can’t get it out of my system naturally within two days, I take my lithium orotate.<\/p>\n 4. I check in with the amazing Julie Foster of Pohala Clinic – A Place of Healing<\/a> and say, “It’s here! I want to give into it, but I won’t!”<\/p>\n 3. I write positive encouragement to myself in my journal that reminds me of how destructive it will be if I DO go out out at night and have a ‘bit of fun.’<\/p>\n Euphoric mania is better than sex. It is better than wining an award. It is amazing. It feels SO good.<\/p>\n I find it very interesting that people say the same thing about cocaine.<\/p>\n My reality? I almost died due to my euphoric mania. I got an STD. It was dangerous for me. I was a blackout drunk. I don’t allow it in my life any more. When it shows up, I use the ideas in my books with an emphasis on my Health Cards. This is how I work. This allows me to have friends. This helps me live a respectable life.<\/p>\n I choose stability.<\/p>\n What about you? Please visit me on my Julie A. Fast Facebook<\/a> page and leave your comments!<\/p>\n I’m serious about mania management. I don’t like depression- who doesn’t?\u00a0 But I dislike mania more- it is far more destructive than mania. My International Bipolar Foundation webinar The Dangers of Loving Euphoric Mania<\/a> shares my story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 😁 👿 I end my euphoric mania by ________.<\/p>\n I will go first:<\/p>\n 1.
