So, get out of the house, go for a walk or to the gym (exercise is such a great depression-killer!!). Go to the mall and people watch (leave your credit cards and checkbook locked in the trunk or the buying frenzy may send you over to extreme mania!!). Go to the movies - upbeat ones like kids Shrek 2 - but go easy on the candy so as to not aggravate the mania.
Hope that helps!

This is good advice. Exercise is great for relieving depression. Get out there and do something active. I know this is easier said then done (and trust me I know) but it'll help until your meds come in.
Take care.
