If I end up having another manic episode, will I be that same personality again, or will it be somebody new?
I hope it's not a jackass of a question, I'm still sorta new to all this.

I'm sorry you experience it too, but I'm glad I'm not alone. Once it's been going for a while, I too feel like I've been possessed, taken over. Not to the point of going by another name though, more a very strong feeling than that concrete. And afterwards I look back and don't feel it was me at all. Very disconcerting.
My experiences are never exactly the same -but then my episodes are few and far between and my memory sucks. So I can't really answer that question.
