My serious answer is get physical exercise whenever possible. When you wear your body down physically, you will sleep better. You dont have to go for walks or runs, but it would be awesome if you could do it. If you dont see yourself getting on a jogging pattern. You could play your favorite sport like basketball or you could take up an outdoor activity like fishing or hunting which will give you exercise.
Yes, exercise goes a long way to maintaining body healthy regulation.

Ditch Caffeine and sugary drinks and drink water only. Get plenty of exercise too!

I just took an "Are you bipolar?" quiz, not cause I thought I was, but because I was curious what questions were on it, and one of the questions was "do you feel like you don't need sleep, or have you ever had a period of time where you needed very little sleep, but were functioning normally."

As I said, I went weeks without anything, and there was no difference. Besides, the Adderall is out of my system after 8-10 hours anyways.

Yes, this is a typical symptom of mania. Believe me, I've considered this, but my doctor doesn't seem to think I'm having a manic episode.

The sugar and caffeine isn't it.

I know I need to exercise but I haven't had the motivation to. What I need for that is a workout buddy to drag my ass to the gym, or someone I can tag team off of.

I think you need to be open to slightly changing your day a little bit at a time to see what might help.

@ajstringham Hmmm... well, doctors are not infallible, but the exercise suggestion is a good one. Try taking a walk in the evening.

True. No idea where I'll take a walk. Besides, I have no one to hang out with, so going for a walk is not something I think I can make myself do.

You don't have to have a workout buddy. What you need to do is start exercising for 5-10 minutes a day. After a few weeks you can increase it to 10-15 minutes a day. You can do this at home with absolutely no equipment. Here are 50 exercises you can do without any equipment

@ajstringham We used to walk along the trails in the green spaces. They are all over that area. Does your apartment complex have a gym? People would be there if you went at the right time, and then maybe you'd get some social in. How about walking to a restaurant instead of driving?

5 minutes of exercise is better than 0 minutes of exercise. Like @Dominica said, do something small to give yourself exercise

You could walk to Denny's or walk to get froyo.

I don't have the money to go out. Having serious financial issues right now.

When we were in training for our backpacking-across-Europe trip, we used to walk for froyo and coffee, because it's easier to do the walking when you have a treat at the end.

Do you have a camp/nature trails near by we have some of those they are my favorite. I love nature. I'm not so much of a gym type person.

Not much of an outdoorsy person myself. I don't like bugs, which is why I always loved winter in NY.

@ajstringham Then walking or the exercises previously mentioned, are a great choice for you, cause they are free. Oh, and for the socializing problem, how about joining the library, and then seeing if they have a book club or other interest clubs? I know ours has that stuff, it's all free and possibly a good way to meet people. Maybe just retired people, but still - people!
