Bipolar Spiraling - how to navigate rapid cycling?

[AllisonStern]

This week has been rough. My mood and my mind has been all over the place. One minute I want to tackle the world, start a porn channel, fly to Chicago, and do drugs, and the next I'm anxious as hell, suicidal, scatterbrained, and exhausted. I've had two separate friends (thank god for mentally ill aware people) point out I'm manic, and another friend say that I'm likely rapid cycling (which I've never experienced before).

PTSD is making it so much worse because this particular spell I'm hypersexual. I keep finding myself in triggering sexual situations and so my anxiety's at an all-time high.

Does anyone have advice on how to navigate rapid cycling? How do you deal with comorbid Bipolar and PTSD?

Can you find any safe projects.? You need something to do to ride this out without putting your self in danger. If you learn how to steer your manics they can be a useful tool at times but you gotta practice damage limitation. I am ptsd but ex bi polar so I get where your at. Stay safe.

Meaning I used to be not I had an ex who was or was that just confusing to me? Lol

Focus your energy on creative things.. drawing, coloring, restauring a piece of furniture, music, writing, you see where I'm going with this..

Call pdoc immediately too. It's dangerous if you let this spiral out of control.
