    What it means is that the person has a tendency to overwork their neurotransmitters, causing exhaustion.

    To recognize the core of the problem, there isn't a bi-polar person out there that I am aware of that wouldn't want to keep the manic part, and get rid of the depressive part. But if you understand that the manic part is the precursor to the depression, you are half-way to a solution.

    In order to quit being unhappy for no reason, you must tackle being happy for no reason first, primarily by finding a reason. Fill your day with small accomplishments - build a model airplane, call an old friend and HELP THEM, and focus on weaning yourself from the HIGH of mania.

    Other than that, look into Lithium, a natural element with remarkable properties - they are like little atomic capacitors that absorb the manic, and distribute it to the depressive, effectively bringing you more towards the center. In regions where Lithium is abundant in the water supplies, you will find the most mellow people. (NE U.S., Canada)
