Do exactly what Sunshine_Clouds (Annie) is talking about. Writing down what you have to do every minute of the day helps me. I have a checklist of things that I do on a normal basis then I keep room for things that will help my mind from racing. Nothing helps mania really, but realizing your manic helps. In the past I had no idea what was wrong with me. Now that I know I can see the signs of me going manic. So that's when I get my schedule out and write things that I can do to help my mind from exploding. If your not already please see a psychiatrist and a therapist to help with your feelings of self harm. That's serious. Please get the help you need. Try to open up and let the therapist know everything that bothers you. Please please take care of you. God bless.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member Best coping mechanism for coping with Manic Behaviors: Try slowing yourself down; Write lists of what you are doing; Call your therapist; Call you psychiatrist; try to sleep; try to relax. The main thing is contacting your doctor and explain to him/her what you are doing or what you are trying to do. Do NOT self harm. Good luck! Annie

All very good advice here!

When you self harm yourself it takes your mind off what your trying to forget 🙏 and it doesn't not for long! 💕 What ever the reason it's a cry 😢 for help ! I went through cutting myself it was to try to forget what was going on around me and in my head! Going around with long sleeves so nobody sees the scare's! And if nobody sees that cry for help nobody hread my cry until I took it to far and cut myself that deep l was bleeding that much and I passed out my Dad hread me fall he came and but Towle"s around my rist and picked me up and drove to the hospital and he brought me in he wouldn't leave my side! So it was all out in the open my Dad knew why I was! That was the last time I cut myself my Dad was always there for his girl's! That was back in the 90s wish he was here! He was only 49 years old always in my heart ! ❤ 💙
