I'm new to this kinda... saw my T today and she said she thought I was manic.... Is there anything I can do in the meantime while I'm waiting till next week to see my pdoc, I don't think the one I saw the other day would be too impressed with me and like I said before he had his own issues when I had him as my pdoc he told me how his father was an alocholic and he became a doc to gain approval and how no matter what he could never attain it and stuff like that.

Anyway what I was wondering is can mania be treated, if so how? I mean I thought mood stabilizers did the trick; my stepmom said if that were the case then there wouldn't be anyone with bipolar and she basically said I was wrong; she was being kinda a ***** anyway; but, whatever. She said I need to take ahold of my life and not rely on some magic pill and how I was the only one who could control how I feel and act; I think this maybe true but only to a certain extent. Anybody else have an opinion on this?

Thanks!
