You have to remember that the manic you is not the *real* you.

Manic or not, we should always accept responsibility for actions, but when we're manic, we should also accept the fact that our actions are not reflective of who we are.

I say all of this because we all are often overwhelmed with guilt after our manic episodes. So, you might be able to put your mind at ease if you accept that you were not in a stable mind and accept that you *can* better yourself for the future. Acceptance is key IMO.

If needed, I will apologize for what I did and explain. Whether or not the people involved want to accept that, that's on them. But apologizing and explaining is all I can do, and I did my part. I'm not saying that to be "nasty". I'm saying that because what else are you going to do? Sometimes time is needed to let things heal, and the best you're going to do right now is apologize and explain.

For the reasons above ^, I do feel a lot better when I know I've done everything I can to rectify the situation. Maybe it will help you too.

And like Moose said, your true friends will forgive and understand you.
