Mania and cutting

[cyberdustbunnies]

I'm not sure that this is the best subforum but oh well...
I'm bipolar II and currently am rapid cycling. That means that I'm spending a good amount of the day in hypomania. I've found that when I'm like that I almost always self harm and to a greater degree than usual. I have very little self control when I'm hypomanic and the harming urges are also much stronger, leading to fairly extreme results.

What I'm wondering is if anybody here has a similar problem when they're manic and hypomanic and how do you cope?

Hi! Welcome to BUS, I hope you find what you need here. As is tradition here, have a welcome cow: (I've never given anyone a cow before, that's actually kinda fun)

I think you'll probably get more replies in the main forum, as that gets the most attention and you're more likely to get someone who can help you over there. Honestly, I have nothing to offer in terms of answering your question, I just didn't want you to get no replies when this looks like a rather important topic.
