Bipolar Mania<\/p>\n
Oh man, I had a terrible up swing yesterday! The problem with mania- well, there are so many problems with mania it would take a year to write them all down. The problem is that there are so many forms and they are all so sneaky. I\u2019m an expert on mania treatment now- I have done everything possible to notice the signs of mania and get the mania to stop. And it still sneaks up on me. <\/p>\n
I had a strong hypomanic episode yesterday. It started out fun and then felt like I was on a way too fast merry go round. I could feel my brain warping. I got so excited about my work I was giddy. It was a bit scary. I actually couldn\u2019t tell if I truly was excited or if it was a mood swing. Looking back, it was 100% mania. People don\u2019t go that wild when things go well. I didn\u2019t do anything stupid. I wrote all about it in a newsletter you will get soon if you\u2019re on the mailing list. <\/p>\n
I tried so hard to keep it under control. I haven\u2019t been that manic in a few years. Awful. But I made it through.
\nIf you click on the mania subject tab to the right, you can read all of my mania entries- there are some great blogs on the difference between mania and hypomania- the two types of bipolar, medications and mania, etc. etc. <\/p>\n
Mania is often more dangerous than depression because it\u2019s so hard to spot and then hard to treat. I have learned to do it. We all have to learn to recognize and treat mania. I talk about it in all of my books- a lot. I use the Health Cards to treat it. I am thankful I have found a way to stop it before it goes too far. <\/p>\n
