With respect and concern, if you do have bipolar disorder, this is a risky choice to not seek treatment and 'just try to ride it out'. The self-employed are especially vulnerable. Stakes are very high for you right now and a ramp up into mania and then a subsequent depression could do bad things to your business and everything else. Every choice I've made to 'ride out' mental illness resulted in spectacular, costly and therefore very memorable mistakes. Now that your business is up and running, treatment can help you to maintain the consistent stability necessary to keep it running and growing.
