Dealing with Hypomania: Need Suggestions

I was recently diagnosed with bipolar after a psychosis episode which sent me to an inpatient hospital, I am experiencing hypomania right now but I don't know how to calm down without smoking weed. Any suggestions?

Medications can take up to 6 weeks to start working so call your doctor and tell them you are struggling so they can assess the situation

Hi, have you tried seeing a psychiatrist? are you taking any medications? In the beginning, I wouldn't have been able to control myself without weed, but today I take lithium and I'm pretty balanced. I quit drugs and alcohol, I even recently started a new job. This medicine saved me.

yes I see a psychiatrist and they are still testing me on a bunch of new meds, I've heard of lithium and I can bring it up to her, I'm just scared I'll take advantage of it, is it an addictive drug? I'm glad it helped you!!
