In reply to I can make myself manic; anyone else can?, posted by Lazarus on March 30, 2006, at 18:58:51
>I was wondering if anyone else has the ability to do this.
For me its comes and goes in natural cycle. I'm good at predicting it, because of the various times of the year it happens. I have no control when it does happen to switch if off though, bit like if I want to get rid of depression - it takes months to ride it out. Hypomania (I don't get mania) when it does happen, I seek to make it as pleasurable as possible eg the sex drive. Now though i'm trying to control it alittle more, keep it less extream. Could never live without it though - hypomania, for one thing medcations don't work to well for me, secondly, its too much of a gift at times, lastly no matter what I do, it always peaks up at some stage. Moderation is the key though, for me, that way the depressions are not so severe.
