If you are being treated with proper meds for "Bipolar" you may need a dosage adjustment,change in meds.
Mania can be minimized or nipped, caught in time with proper meds, especially mood stabilizers.
I suggest you contact your pdoc about this, counselars who are not pdocs can just offer a limited amount of help, due to the fact they are not psychiatrists.
Give it a try, call your pdoc, even make an appt., if you feel he or she is not listening, it may be time to seek a new pdoc, one who is more familar with treating Bipolar patients.
Lots of luck with this.
