I was on bipolar meds for about 3 years when I went into full blown mania sometime in early 2011 don't know exactly when. I had a severe heat stroke in August of 2010 and was hospitalized. I honestly think that had something to do with it. I went through a lot, about spilt up with my wife, started a side business, spent a lot of savings, talked loud, didn't sleep much and a lot of other things. I could not for the life of me understand why my wife was being so hard on me and fighting with me a lot. I didn't realize I was in mania until it was over. It seems like now I was two different people at the same time. Sometimes one, sometimes the other.
My questions are this:
Is that the way mania works?
Can you realize your in mania and snap out of it somehow?
