GREAT ADVICE EVERYONE! How do I add anything to perfection? But because I must, I would expand upon what some of you have already said about staying on medications and therapy. I've found that it's important to have a support group in place: that's to say trusted individuals who can act as a safety net when I fall (into an episode).

Whenever I've degenerated into mania or manic-psychosis, I'm the last person on the planet who suspects anything is wrong. And in the past, my episodes were allowed to run unaddressed until they burned out naturally. Trouble is with that, as you all know so well, is that there's a wake of damage, harm, and sometimes injury to others. Then comes the familiar task of cleaning up the wreckage - which can never be fully resolved. Find people who you can educate as to the symptoms and warning sighs of mania/manic-psychosis, and give them a plan of action whereby you can get the help you need before the full destructive force of the on-coming storm strikes.

And definitely stick to you medications, and where available, therapy. Otherwise - pursue your dreams. If you take away a person's dreams then you rob them of their reason to live life to the fullest.
Trusting your intuition is not nearly as important as believing in yourself.
