Welcome back, Blue Krik (though we've not met yet, sounds like it's been quite awhile...)! Totally agree you should pursue the therapy and meds. Totally understand the "No, no, really, I'm great! Really! Don't need any meds thanks anyway!" thing. I even said it to a Pdoc, as I was pretty much bouncing off the couch. She gave a knowing look and said, "call me when you change your mind". She knew, and it wasn't long before I knew it too, then was scrambling. It had been a long hypomanic span (sounds like yours was too) which made it all the harder to accept I would ever come down again. So wrong(!) It's good for you that you are recognizing what is going on, and what you need to do. Please do it soon --perhaps on one of the days when you're feeling pretty ok if that works for you. (For me it's easier to tackle at such times... and because the really down times are so close at hand and pervasive, it's harder to deny it. Maybe it is for you too. Though others do it better the other way around. You know youself best of course. )

Please keep us posted, ok?
