At the height of my hypomania i lose insight and think that i have just achieved good health and will be energetic and optimistic for the rest of my life. I am reluctant to see my doctor at these times because i worry that if i report that i feel healthy he will send me back to work.

I told him about my concern last time and he had a good laugh. He said i've been off work for 20 years and that if he ever tells me to go back to work *i* can fire *him*! We had a good laugh.
