I asked my pdoc, who knows meds inside out, the best thing to stop a tailsping, and he said,exactly as Mark wrote, Pop one or two and go to sleep, and you will feel *so* much better in the morning. He was right.And to take one, if it was during the day.
I do an ice cube, as the same time, and a little self-EMDR (just breaking the gaze helps the switch) and/or cover one eye for a bit, then the other. . .
There's no reason to start spiralling up or down, tho it took me forever to be able to directly ask, How can I avoid this. I had accepted it for so long. I was Bipolar II, and most often didn't have "happy" manic--only heard from God a few times, and He told me to color code my books. . .too much work---so it seemed for years and years that I was only Depressed.
Now I realize I cycled every singly bloody day. Whew. In retrospect, I am exhausted!
