I wrote 2 novels in three weeks when I was manic in the hospital. Not a lot of sleep going on.

Yes, faith based decisions. Mine are not quite as life altering as yours but they have definitely had positive influences. I have donated huge sums to charity (even when we didn’t have the money). I have recorded my testimony for my famous preacher’s New York Times best selling book (and the video that went with it)—there is nothing like your every childhood move being out there for the world to see but that said, I know it can be potentially helpful to anyone struggling with the things I struggled with. I have had the most incredibly emboldened prayer life during manic episodes, even praying with and for strangers. I could go on but those are the biggest and you get the point.

When I was younger, it could have been very life altering as I was very promiscuous while manic. Thankfully I never got pregnant.
