I'm another BP who blanks out during manic episodes and can't remember some of the things I said or did. Even when I'm confronted with it and have to trust that I really did say or do those things (and my paranoia makes me wonder if I'm being gaslighted). For me the only way to prevent that is to not get manic in the first place.
