Welcome @
PHewson!
I can relate to the anxiety, but I experience it differently than you do - it's more like a feeling that something awful is going to happen soon. I also had just one manic episode, brought on by meds, so now I'm unspecified bipolar, but my main problem is depression and anxiety. I've been in a depressed episode since 2017 when I had to suddenly stop Lamictal.
