Do you guys spill everything and more when your manic? It's like a truth serum for me. I told my mom about my BP and mania because of it. I'm worried about seeing T like this.

On the plus side, she'll get to experience how you are when manic and you'll get a better sense of whether she can "handle" you.

I think there's a tendency to...

You feel so good that you want everyone to know how "awesome" you are

Oh god yes! When I'm hypo. Then when I come down I remember it all and try to delete threads and posts etc. I go off on people tooword vomitword vomit. I actually stopped talking to a lot of people because I said something embarrassing or mean.

Yep, and it makes me want to tell everyone that I have BP when that would probably cause more problems. I find myself very interesting and assume everyone else does too. I want to tell them all about me, and I want them to know the fascinating things that are going on in my head. Because I'm that cool! ...until I'm not.

I agree your T should witness this because it's an important part of your situation.
Thanks for this!

I agree with the others that your therapist should see you let it all hang out. It's the only way they are going to truly be able to.help you is if you are your real self with them.

I totally spill everything when I'm manic. I always end up saying things I shouldn't and I can't take it back. I become honest almost to a fault and I say pretty much everything I'm thinking, which is not a good thing.
