I was manic and didnt realize it last February. A doctor that I work with pulled me aside and said" Cynthia I think you are in a manic phase, maybe check your meds and see your P doc." I wish someone would have pulled me aside sooner as I made some bad decisions including selling my house and going to china. so dont think that people cant help . Just by being told that i was manic by someone that i respect made a difference. I then went to my doc and although it took some tweaking of meds, I am finally better. And I miss my old house so much. what a shame.

on the other side of it. My sister goes manic and wont admit or face it. She rambles on and on and rants. I just listen and dont know what to say. She gets angry if i tell her that she needs meds or is ill. So I listen like a good little sister and support her as she rants on for hours sometimes. It is very sad.
