He hasn't done anything. He supports it. My therapist supports it. Not a danger to others - not really a danger to self right now while manic. I haven't been truly manic in quite a few years (didn't know I was bipolar then). This all started last week when I was in a mixed state - racing thoughts, suicidal ideation, crying, trouble sleeping, anger bordering on homicide with my son (wouldn't have done it but felt like it), pressurized speech, etc. This week is totally manic (nothing crazy) and has been quite fun. Clearly I am not stable and need help.
