I feel genuinely concerned about any human being suffering from a mental problem. Staying awake and typing nonsense will not help. Rest, get better, practice kendo, find balance. Seriously, try to sleep.

Sounds like a classic Manic Episode (Bipolar Affective Disorder) In many respects the discipline of JSA actually helps, unless the person suffers from a pathological or psychotic* reaction. The physical exercise helps during depressive episodes. When someone is manic, you really have to play it by ear, mainly, if they're out of control, take their swords off them and wait till the ep is over.

*I mean psychotic in the medical sense, not in the modern cultural one. As someone who has suffered three psychotic episodes I never tried to kill or harm anyone at any time. Honest. No really, never
