What works for me: I have bipolar depression and bouts of hypomania several times a year.
Seek professional help from someone who will actually listen to you.
Take meds if that is what is suggested.
exersicise any way you can. Its really hard sometimes but do it.
I joined a very small gym, and the owner calls me up when she know I'm down, yes I tell her, and says I don't care what your wearing and neither does any one else. get your butt down here and get your seratonin levels up. I force my self, but she is very firm.
practice yoga learn the breathing techniques at least.
Make a list of things you would like to accomplish. (not too big)
Do something on the list. Anything.
Answer the phone. Tell someone that you are blue.
If you don't want your friends to know , find a website where no one
knows you personally.
I have a warm loving husband who goes through this over and over again
with me, but he still thinks if I am sleeping alot, I must be tired.
It takes him a while to "get it" so I really have to take care of myself. Hope this was alittle helpful. I've been in your shoes quite a few times, but it doesn't last forever. I promise.
