I just wrote a blog on being hypomanic.<\/p>\n
Here is what I’m going to do about it.<\/p>\n
1. Use the energy to get as much work done as possible. Things have been quite terrible for a month- so I can at least use this energy to get caught up as much as possible.
\n2. Realize that I always want to drink when I get like this. I rarely drink otherwise. So, tonight, when I see friends for karaoke, I will not have Ouzo!
\n3. Be home and in bed by midnight at the latest.<\/p>\n
Get ready for the downswing.<\/p>\n
It’s all about awareness. I created the Health Cards to help me manage this illness- they have helped me manage this mania better than any treatment I have ever known. I am thankful I can recognize this for what it is and do something about it. I refuse, absoluely refuse to make the manic mistakes of my past.<\/p>\n
What about you? Any signs of mania? Does someone you care about show signs of mania? There are more stories and tips under the mania tab on the right. you can read more about the Health Cards at www.bipolarhappens.com<\/p>\n
