I went manic once and sent a co-worker (a director) hundreds, maybe a thousand text messages of the story of my life because I thought it was so interesting and looked so cool in text bubbles!! OMG...

When I went manic in 1997, I started calling people I hadn’t seen for years to give them advice. Good grief.

I guess you probably have to live near them to go in for an evaluation. Or someone would have to give them mania/depression info.

It seems like they would need someone that cycles frequently. I’ve only had two full-blown manic events 18 years apart. Hypomania started up maybe 12 years ago at an interval I’ve never tracked. Hmmm.

Anyway, I haven’t heard of it.
