I'm currently in the loving life land of being high, but I think lower than I was two weeks ago the last time I saw my pdoc. However I have got that over enthusiastic thing going on, and after one tandem skydive I've now booked on for a week long course to learn to skydive solo.

I was super excited, and although I expected my pdoc to have concerns about it being impulsive, expensive, out of character etc. I wasn't expecting her to state she would force me into hospital if I'm not back to stable before then. She's concerned about the lack of judgement, the adrenalin sending me even higher so I start believing I can fly without deploying the parachute. I get it intellectually, but don't really think there's a risk for me.

So I have until Thursday to bring myself back to earth, or I will spend my week's holiday in hospital having wasted a lot of money. Problem is my manic self is still having an awesome time, and even with that threat hanging over me I'm not sure I want to take the meds to bring me down...

Being up is so so fun, I know, but I also know that when I'm up, I need to take certain precautions, like a limit on my bank account and not making any big decisions. While manic, I just want to spend money and make life changes, but I've been trying not to lately and it's made my life a lot better.

Hard to convince you, I know, but you don't really want to be in the hospital, right?

I can understand why your doctor is concerned. Follow your doctor's advice and take your meds. It might not be as much fun but it is the safe thing to do. Besides you can save yourself a trip to the hospital.

Wow, that really sounds like fun! I can totally relate to wanting to do it. But I can also remember the 5,000 times that I have looked back and thought "What the hell was I thinking?" I'd listen to your pdoc. Hospital sucks.
