ive got ideas as to what to do with life but everything costs money and the bipolar never fully goes away. I can feel happy for some time, then awful but the real mania has gone for good. I just so miss the mania even tho life is safer without it.

I definitely don't want any further meds. does anyone else miss the mania? what did you do?
Perhaps you should look at this a different way. How do the people around you feel about the lack of mania?
