I'm 35m. I've lived with bipolar since my late teens and I'm still learning about this disorder and how to manage it. 

Im Currently feeling very speedy and all that jazz. I am medicated. Problem is I'm starting up at college again for my second year studying addictions and mental health, and starting a job at a rehab center in 12 days. 

I need to nip this possible hypo/mania in the bud before it takes off as I need to be functional. 

What do you guys do to crush you mania before it takes off? All my coping strategies aren't currently working. 

Thanks in advance.
