Depressed? (Possibly Triggering)

(Anonymous) 2013-07-11 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm bipolar II, but I feel like I'm having a mixed episode, which is usually just something bipolar I people get. I feel depressed and excited at the same time. I tried watching a movie and exercising and reading positive mantras, but I still feel like my heart is going slow, but my mind is going fast. I feel like cutting, but I'm not exactly sad either. I just feel weird and out of whack. Any ideas on what I should do to stay calm and not feeling like crying and laughing at the same time?

:( Is there a crisis line you could talk to? (I know that's not the answer you want to hear, sorry, but someone with more knowledge of what you're going through should know how to help you and advice you better than random fandom!secrets visitors who might or might not share your condition and whose advice might or might not work for you as it did for them.)

Does exercise help you? I've had the "heart going slow, mind going fast" mood before and usually I just have to move and distract myself. When I'm like that I can't really concentrate on much so my usual distractions of fanfic etc don't work, but getting up and doing something will help.

Good luck and stay safe.

Maybe some light exercise, if you feel up to it? Walking around the block or maybe in a nice park if possible. It sort of gives your mind something to process and focus on while taking advantage of natural endorphins released by physical activity. Sometimes I find that music helps me, too. It gives sort of a "white noise" effect to quiet down my brain.

I'm sorry and I hope this passes for you.

I know you said you tried exercise, but did you try yoga? Some light yoga can really help if your body and mind are feeling at odds with each other.

or maybe a martial art, or both!

put that manic energy into use by laser-focusing into getting every stance and body part position correctly, balancing your body as you shift, etc.
