Comment on how you control your mania.
If you’d like to read my lack of control of mania below I describe it.

Description of my mania:

I take antidepressants and lamictal 300mg.

if I can only take these meds I feel high and so good I’ll smile and laugh for no reason. However I’m also very agitated, internal restlessness. And I can not stop taking other substances. Which ruins my mood but the lack of self constraint and judgement leads me back to it every time. Uppers downers you name it I’ll start taking it. Also I shop online having a compulsion to buy things I want even though it’s not financially responsible. I don’t want to quit antidepressants because I’m anxious and depressed without them. I really need help because this has taken control of most of my life. (Mainly the uncontrollable substance use that always comes back around this has been going on for a decade.)
