If anyone tried to herd me, I'd claw 'em good. Rather ornery when not depressed...;)
I saw your post about getting out of routine and agree with it completely. That always happened to me when I was in a regular position.
It's funny, I, too, have obsessions of sorts. What I'm doing is stripping unnecessary things from my life, so it's all as simple as possible. I dress very similarly day to day. I have the same make-up/hair routine everyday, and it's Very simple now. I'm keeping the colors in my house similar room to room and cutting out many patterns. I'm limiting decisions, which I think has helped.
Thank you for your kind words. The deep breathing is a good idea.
I realized that the big problem this time was that I was trying to cut back on one of my stabilizers, Topamax. That was about the third day. I was in an agitated, pre-hypomanic state that got worse and worse until bed time was a mess. I upped it again last night and already feel better.
-KK, claws ready for attack
