Oh, and if your GP doesn't want to prescribe an antipsychotic, you may want to ask for an antihistamine. It would (probably) have to be a high dosage, (much) higher than for most people with insomnia, but it's a lot better than an anxiolytic. You could also try some melatonin together with that (or, preferably, an antipsychotic).

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
