Self-inducing mania.

This depressive episode has gone on too long. It's been since last October that I've felt that great, euphoric feeling of hypomania. I've been through suicidal ideation, voices, delusions which I still think are real, and a terrible time. I really want to feel good again. Anything to relief this pain would help. Even if mania turns into absolute rage, I just want to stop being scared, paranoid, anxious, and constantly sad. I know the dangers of self-inducing mania. How do I do it?

From my experience, there is no method of inducing mania or depression, it is just something that happens with you. The illness is about the emotions being out of control and disconnected from reality.

Hi

Things sound pretty miserable for you. Have you told your dr honestly how you feel? If not I would suggest you do this including saying that you want to induce hypomania.

We work to keep the forum a therapeutic place. This is not saying that negative things are not discussed- of course they are but in a manner which is to do with moving forward and getting help. I am sorry but I am locking this thread as I do not believe it is therapeutic.

I am sorry about this and I really hope things improve for you
