I live in Michigan which obviously has distinct seasons and I have been told by a therapist before that the change of season to spring or fall are two of the worst times for those with bipolar, and I think she was correct. For the first time in quite awhile, I am unmedicated, and while I have been doing well for the most part, now that the weather is changing and getting nicer I can feel a sort of mania kicking in. An unreal amount of energy, feeling like I can do anything, like I am super funny and clever, and the impulse to spend any money I have whether or not I actually need anything. Was just wondering if anyone else had these seasonal blips and how they deal with them??
