When I'm extremely manic, I do any one of the following:

* Take long walks
* Listen to soft, relaxing music (such as smooth jazz or classical)
* Cook a nice meal for myself
* Run on my treadmill
* Read a good book
* Watch a TV documentary to help get my mind off of my emotional state
* Talk to a good friend on the phone
* Take a 15 minute nap
* Have a phone session with my tdoc
* Surf the Internet
* Take a walk in nature and/or along the beach
* Write in a diary or mood journal. Doing so helps distract me from my mania and helps me pinpoint what triggers it.
* If my mania is severe, I contact my pdoc and tdoc and admit myself IP
