I'm bipolar and i feel something coming on?

I was just recently diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder, so i'm not on meds yet. i've been very depressed for about 2 days, but at this exact moment I feel some mania coming on...i have to get up in 6 hours but i'm speeding up by the minute...

anyone have some advice on what i can do?

I cleaned my room, and now i'm drinking a beer...got an intense headache for a second...feelin' kinda crazy...but I just laughed at the world in my head. (i saw ha ha ha come out, ha ha). I wish I weren't alone, but someone beside me might think i'm crazy. Oh wait, I guess i kind of am.

just another follow up, i came across something about your sacrum tingling if you thought about it, (which didn't work) but then i started visualizing all my bones in my body, which was pretty sweet. and luckily, i got another manic episode on my night shift! (i'm a waitress and worked a double today on only a few hours of sleep)

thanks for all your advice

I am Bipolar mixed. That means that I have depression and mania at the same time and anxiety on top of that with rapid mood swings. So i am not exactly sure about Bipolar 2 but I am sure it is similar. I am 53 and have been on various meds for 30 years. Medication is very important. Getting the right medication is your Doctor's job. Your job is to follow your Doctor's directions AND give feedback on how the medication is doing. As far as having to get up in 6 hours, I assume it is for a job. Without further details, I cannot say how to survive this current situation. You can e-mail me if you want.
