I need some advice on how to cope please

Support Needed :nervous:

How do you cope? What can I do to support myself right now?

And please be kind.

I think I’m experiencing a manic episode or whatever the correct term would be. I’m not diagnosed bipolar but doctors have referred me in the past for type 2. I’ve experienced a breakup, a death in the family. I’m doing lots of planning for pride, a work trip and a funeral. I’m doing well overall, but I’m not sleeping, I feel hyper all the time, I’m really excited about life constantly and people keep gravitating towards me to get close to me right now and I’m overwhelmed. I want to conquer the world, but if I stop I will breakdown. I’m almost scared of falling off this wheel despite the stress and overwhelming excitement it’s bringing.

I feel like I can pinpoint what exactly I’m feeling about what. My brain feels messy and disorganized.

I’m not panicked or upset right now but I fear I will be if I don’t start helping myself somehow.
