First thing I cna think of is do an inventory on your diet Manon maybe there something your eating, drinking thats causing this , then again it could simply be your chemistry.
Need to find ways to relax and for one thing maybe just stopping and kneeling at your bed or some where comfortable and try some meditation. Start with prayer quiet things down inside, quiet your mind think of tranquel things like the sloshing of the sea maybe take a trip to the mountains or see yourself sailing in the breeze, what ever it takes just quiet all that chatter and energy down.
Your life is unamanageable Manon mine gets the same way at times I go UP then dooooown, its a roller coaster managing this is important to having some peace within.
You have the internet look up some meditation ideas maybe yoga my sister does yoga to calm her self down she has been clean something like 15 years now. Try some excercise even LOL you have the energy use some of it in a positive way.
My mom was manic depressive bi polar and I watched her go through this a lot and sometimes it is a med's adjustment that is needed. But like Vin said make sure you are not taking more caffine cause that really cause the imbalnaces. Hope I didn't offend anyone.
no offense don't be afraid to share that is why I post is to get feedback caffeine make ppl manic? I have a call into my shrink so we will see what needs to be done ty Shannon

YQW but I remember from one other time I got chewed out and didn't want that to happen again in another posting a while back. I have become quite unsure of my postings anymore. I don't want conflict in my life anymore right now. I mean caffine is a stimulant to our bodies think about it and if you add it to what your brain chemistry is already doing I think it could make you even put you further into a mania. I remember my mom's mania's and I hated her depression's so much when I was a kid. The doctor alway's was putting her into the hospital and I could never visit when I was 4 or 5 not until I got to be 12 years old. That was a hard thing for me to deal with so of course I wanted to escape some of that stuff in my life now and when I was in active addiction the drugs did just that. Helped me and allowed me to escape and not face the music about my mom. Now that she is no longer here I can't tolerate it at all.
