I'm not sure why you feel defeated, two years is a long time to go symptom free, but I"m sorry that you're feeling that way. I hope it goes away soon. And to recognize you were getting manicky is huge! By the time I am typing like a fool, I'm already so far gone I can't even identify it in myself!
Good for you!
I hope you feel all the way better soon!

PP means postpartum, I had a baby 2 years ago. I wish I was symptom free this whole time. I have been managing my symptoms with the help of my NP since I decided to go off my meds about 3 years ago. I am currently experiencing a mixed episode, which is very disruptive at my job. So in this case my NP and I made the decision to resume medication since I am not coping well enough with mindfulness, and all that other stuff to be able to function at work and before I start fighting with my husband and all the things that snowball when I am in this state.
I am bipolar 2, so I get hypomanic, the huge red flag for me is hypersexualization, being anxious about money and when I start taking on hobbies. If if fail to realize the agitated dysphoria takes over and I just cycle between that and depression which is also agitated.
