I understand that sharing my views on Social media is all i can do and its ultimately her choice but then given her condition i ask myself if she is really capable of talking an rational decision for herself? I dont think so at least now when she is in Manic phase. This is the reason why i have been trying to find some way.
@ luvyrself: Thanks a lot for your inputs. There are times I have been able to put across my points and she gets it but then after sometime its same story which makes it quite hard.

---I really get this. For me hypomania is so dangerous with the distorted thinking and one's guard down. Distraction into some more productive activities could help a lot, getting her out, making vigorous exercise fun (water aerobics is my lifeline), encouraging self expression thru hobbies, all that helps me. There was a reality series about Downs Syndrome patients that was absolutely excellent and showed how parents helped their Downs kids navigate romances. She is so, so lucky to have someone who cares. I am currently looking for "mood buddies" to keep in touch with as sounding boards. My guy friend far away on the east coast does this best so far-very level headed.
