Answers:
The lows for me are exhausting!. I get through them by doing my best to do everything I HAVE to do (eat, shower etc) and spend the rest of the time watching tv / dvds!.
They help me get out of my head for a while!.
If Im not on a severe low i also try to get a bit of exercise in!. keeps my mood managable!.
Sorry, nothing special but Im still fairly new to trying to manage my highs and lows!.
Good luck with it!

Ohhh God yes I do! Unfortunately it can become a real problem when I try to have a normal life and relate to people!. I have the worst type, ( bipolar 1), I spend half of my time symptomatic!. I`m raging, depressed, delusional, hyper, suicidal, etc!.!.!.I`m depressed right now thinking about the life I could have without this disorder!.!.I have two kids who have to suffer with me as well!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
the longer you've been on the roller coaster the more insight you have into dealing with it, I just wish I could get off and take a break!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
i havent actually been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, im too scared to say anything to anyone about it
but anyway i think i do have it
and i completely understand what you go through
because i have exactly the same
i was due on the other day
and i was in such a bad mood and i felt really, really down
what i do on my down days is i simply just lie in bed and watch tv, then i get up and just watch films and laze around
i listen to music a lot too
i wish i could say what can lift you out of the sorrow
but i cant even find a way for myself, but still
just look forward to when your high days comeWww@Answer-Health@Com
