That said, knowing how it feels when I'm on my way up or down helps me to act to address the mania or depression head on. Talk to my PsychNP, change meds or go to the hospital if it comes to that.

Yes. It does help having someone close to you who can tell if you're going up (or down), and can tell you, or warn you. My husband has been nagging me for days that I'm going hypo and he can tell because he knows me. It's annoying, but he's probably right lol.
