i was 5 months medfree before mania. stress got to me, and it acually happened during spring break. and it actually happened when I stopped drinking at night to try to get off the booze. I stayed in my bed for like 3 days listening to spotify and writing all sorts of stuff on my ipad. I gave up on life.
how long have you been medfree?
also, were you diagnosed bipolar 1 or 2?
im 1, and I believe its harder for people that have a risk of getting into full-blown mania. coping and finding relief is almost impossible during a manic episode, without medication.

I have Bipolar 1 and I have been med free for just over two years. I got sick and tired of the negative side effects and constantly being given medicine that didn't work and only caused me more pain, so I did a lot of research and decided to start treating my own problems.
My mania phases can get intense, but they are usually short and I can work around them if they get too crazy.
Also I work from home and choose my own hours so in the rare event that my mood becomes too out of hand, I can stop working for a few days and keep my mind busy until my mood settles. It's rarely more than once a year that it gets that bad for me though.
