I have recently cycled out of a six-year depressive episode into Mania. I can control the mania because I have certain safeguards implemented like going to sleep at a certain time, no drugs, no sexual encounters with women (my biggest weakness), setting up a budget, and exercise. Everything is going great but I feel scared all the time of going back to a depressive cycle.

Any advice on how to squash this fear. I occasionally check in with my therapist and psychiatrist to get my prescription medication. I’m just afraid of turning into a vegetable again.
