I have 39 hours until I finallly get to see a psychiatrist but I really don't know if I can last that much longer! Like I really just feel crazy and my family is annoyed or scared of me and they don't want to talk to me and I can't think of anything to do to keep me busy! I just need to be occupied a little bit longer but everything I do it's just ahhhhhhhh I'm so agitated! I can't wait!!! The only thing I can think of is take sleeping pills and keep myself asleep till then but that sounds so, I don't know crazy?? Does anyone have any ideas? What do you do when you're manic? I really could use some help right now! Sorry for being annoying!!

You are not annoying. Something that helps me is to clean. I think I get it from my mother. If I'm upset or mad, I clean the house. You could organize drawers, nothing too big - you don't want to overwhelm yourself, but just enough to keep you busy. Just start with one drawer at a time and after that is finished move to the next one. You could do drawers in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, where ever. I also get crazy doing laundry. I recommend not starting anything too big because eventually you'll not want to finish it and if you slip back into a depression, that could just make it worse.

Just some thoughts for ya. Sending good thoughts and strength to you!

Hey hon...you're not annoying here either! We know exactly how you feel...I DO ESPECIALLY TODAY! OMG. Ever since the increase in my Wellbutrin, I'm off the charts agitated and I can't sit still. I thought I would LOSE my freaking mind last night I was so bored. I can't tell you what to do, though, cuz I have no idea either...when I was married, I had dh to help me...now I'm so lost, and have no ideas...but oh well.

You can do it...careful with the sleeping pills...they'll mess you up more, until you see the pdoc...

Just post away...write, that helps...color. I do that. I read when I can sit still long enough...It didn't work much last night.

Hang in there.

Love,

Keli

I was SO BORED last night too! My mom heard me running around my room at like 4 am and came upstairs and peaked around into my bedroom and I'm like "YAY!!! Someone to talk to!" And off I went talking straight to 6 am!Oh my gosh Keli I'm on wellbutrin too and I've been on it for two and half weeks now and I think it's starting to kick in!! I'm usually insanely depressed by this time of day but NOT ANYMORE!! Thanks for your support! I'm about to make it... I hope you're having a great day!
