Your doctor WANTS to know about your breakthrough mania and how it's affecting your medication compliance. Having breakthrough mania is not a "bad behavior". It's illness. Your doctor needs to know so that they can deal with it. Open truthful communication is admired and ultimately does you good.

This is super helpful and a really good idea, I think this takes a lot of the pressure I am feeling to actually talk about it. Thank you for this suggestion, my breakthrough mania has always felt kind of like bad behavior to me, and that all has to do with how people made me feel about that behavior in the past.
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out!
