I often think of this too. But you have to ask yourself basic questions. Are you partying a lot? Talking really fast? Brain going a hundred miles an hour? Are you spending a lot when you shouldn't be?

I personally think there should be a "Bipolar Check off list" so you can see if your stability is actually mania. I mean right now, I feel pretty stable, but I haven't eaten, I am not hungry, and I am racing a bit in the thought process. Does that mean I am manic? I don't think I am, but I really don't know either.

Good question by the way, I know I struggle with this myself.
