Just looking for helpful advice on how to get through the stress of the next two weeks without going manic or, worse, depressed. With all these friends and family around I'm paranoid about opening my big mouth and saying something stupid. I'm sticking with the meds but I'm still hypomanic and the stress of having guests and other issues could potentially turn that right into a nasty depression. It seems like, even with staying faithful to the meds, stress just brings out the worst of the bipolar issues. Irritability is my number one complaint right about now. I'm a regular bah humbug. Just don't want to spoil it for everyone. Or make it worse by going on a buying spree and coming home with loads of crap that seems so perfect at the time. Any suggestions?
