In reply to need help: unable to recognize manic state, posted by judy1 on May 5, 2000, at 13:20:51
Hello Judy and Chris A,
I can't bear the thought of you two sitting around with little hope. Here are some other things that I've done that seem to help my bipolar that are not (as far as I know) a common treatment method for rapid cycling depression. I hope I'm not telling you things you already know:
•Have either of you tried stimulants? Sometimes I think Dexedrine has helped my rapid cycling more than lithium. They never make me manic. On my depressed days, When I take them, they keep my energy on an even keel with manic days. They can even get me out of bed on a depressed day, and help with my mood (if I don't use them very often).
•running really seems to help. (you probably know this). I hope your ankle is better Chris A.
•It's probably the illness itself that has made me search out this type of help. I have a really great psychic that can do long distance readings. She has probably helped me more than anyone (and everyone put together). She is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. Let me know if you would like to know more about her.Thinking and hoping the best for the both of you, Janice
