How to deal with depression after manic episode?

anyone posting here bipolar/manic-depressive?

If you are, did you ever engage in crazy behavior you never would in your sane state? How did you cope with the depression afterward and the aftereffects of what you did during your manic episode?

I'm so down now--I can't believe what I've done! It's like there's an alter ego that does all these crazy, wild things. I just hope the consequences (bills, etc) aren't going to kill me before I kill myself from the anxiety.

Perhaps you should follow this strategies:
Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get depress and angry easily
Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat your past experience on yourselve
Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize a eggs"
Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time
Good Luck.

First off, you didn't mention anything about medication. As you probably know, bipolar disorder is one of very few mental health disorders that cannot be effectively treated without medication management. If you aren't already getting treated with medication and therapy, please do so.

As for how to deal with the depression you are experiencing now, you may have been through this enough times to be able to see that this, too, is passing. The best thing you can do right now is surround yourself with supports (friends, family, therapists, etc.) and to make them aware of your need for support. The bills (as ominous as they seem) are not nearly as dangerous as you are to yourself right now. The bills and consequences will stay right where they are, but your first priority will need to be to take care of yourself. If you are feeling like you can't keep yourself safe, please tell someone close to you.
