Very bad. Please do not use. It will aggravate your mania and depression. It will magnify everything. I am talking out loud at home, that's how bad it is. I am babbling with concern: "Very bad. Please do not use."
Of course, I am just reporting from my own experience--the worst mania followed by the worst depression--I've ever had. Lost my job, my friends, my self-respect. Luckily still have my husband, home and child. But barely.
A lot of people made a lot more effective arguments than I have, and offered very good suggestions. I am answering from the amygdala. I can't help it.
Please be careful.

You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. A name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.
