I've been pretty much going nonstop manic, with a few depression spells & some mixed, for the past 2 years. Personally... I know you're loving the craziness after feeling depressed, but if you have the resources & the chance to become stable, you should do it. While it's always fun, it never lasts because you crash right back to depression. It's always short lived. At least if you're on your path to stability, you control the path your life takes. Your moods don't run you anymore.

Ever heard the phrase "too much of a good thing." That's what can end up happening with mania. Just like any other drug that get's you high, you can overdose on mania and it will land you in the hospital or jail or worse. I know the thought of having to be on meds is a scary one, but it might just be for the best. Depakote saved my life

True ****ing story. Too much mania makes me almost catatonic. There is so much mind racing & so many things I want to do but can't that I just... Freeze. I don't talk, don't speak, & drive myself insane. : /

The possibility of 'crash and burn' should encourage you to go

I also experience mania more than depressions, and I love being that way. However, if I go too high for too long, it puts me into psychosis.
I have to take meds. for it because of the psychosis. I would love to live in a hypomanic state for the rest of my life because it is fun and you do get a lot more things done, but I don't want to see you go too high. Research has proven that with each manic episode, brain damage gets done also, so it's much more safe to be more stable even if it is as boring as hell.
