Dear Tammy,
I feel like this when my mania cranks up. I have been dealing with my disorder for 25 years. Justl last week I went to my first support group. And had a huge weight lifted form my chest. Hang in there! I will tell you honestly that the difference for me has been consistently taking my meds and having a psychiatrist who does cognitive therapy during my.30 minute sessions. It helps that I have been blessed with the same doc for 19 years. I am here if you need to talk.

I am praying for you!
Hugs,
Pam

i’ve had mania with times of psychosis sometimes that euphoric symptoms gets overwhelming and I get confused. It all started when I lost access to my medical care I had to stop suddenly taking my Seroquel yuck. I hate that medication. It seems after being off of it that I realized it was making me very depressed sluggish sleeping all the time and lowered my intelligence drastically only slept maybe a few hours here and there over 30 days I found a few Seroquel you know laying around the house over the years and even a Klonopin two days ago I found one Klonopin any normal for 24 hours I found one gabapentin that I have in case I think I’m having a seizure or something do you have any advice on how to deal with mania and how it affects you dealing with others when you talk so rapidly and talk about 10 different things at one time, it drives everybody away from you …please help with your advice advice
