Yes, I used to have those days while in super-mania mode. I would drive 50mph over the speed limit, be out on the downtown scene by myself and indulge in whatever drugs or drink that was offered to me. Jump in other peoples cars, go home with strangers. End up in a new part of town, not know where I was or who I was with. I'd be out for days. I would basically put my life in other peoples hands. Anybody's hands. It is a very dangerous place, and what's worse is when your friends and family don't see it as being caused by a bipolar manic state, they just think you're doing it by "choice" and you're rebelling. Thankfully, I'm in a better place in my life and no longer engage in dangerous behavior. It's hard to control or stop once you're manic, if you're still doing dangerous things, I would talk to your doctor about some medication changes.
