hi everybody
I had a manic state
I would rather be in a depressive state
I can manage to deal with it
its the best of the two evils
My mind races faster with a manic state
I have that been here before thinking
which is scary
I think its a part of my depression
im wondering if its my thought process
thanks
Jon


Hi Jon,
sounds like the monkey is jumping around in your mind lately. (one way people describe it)
How would you describe what it is like in there? Can you put a picture to how it feels or what it is doing in your mind?
For me, I describe it like a pinball game. My thoughts are the ball. The ball is going crazy fast bumping everywhere in there nonstop like in a pinball game.
that's how mine feels in those states. It is uncomfortable for sure.
Take a walk. Long walk. In nature. Sit by water. Slow mind and body down. Write pages and pages of every thought that comes. take a nap. slow music. camomile tea. valerian.
make list of three goals for the day and do those three.
Last resort take ativan or other sedative is what I do.
put those monkeys back in the basket.

Jon
