hope the new meds are starting to kick in by now.

if i were you, i wouldnt hesitate to hit the er. they cant keep you if you dont want to stay. and i am sure your obligations to your mom would count as mitigating even if they thought you should stay.

the one really manic period that i ever had, my bike was my best friend. i would just ride until i was exhausted, and then have to ride back home. partly that was just getting out of the house, and all that, but it did help a lot.
ironically, at the time i was sleeping like a baby. just not for very long.
