I was married for 15 years and saw ONE full episode and it scared the crap out of me, without getting into too much detail, my wife, kids and I are lucky to be alive. Good luck-- you obviously know that something is not right otherwise you would not have posted here. Take care!!
My full blown manic episodes involve just sewing and cleaning for hours and me thinking I'm superhuman and don't need sleep. get both extremes while on meds anyway.
