First: At what point during a manic episode do you usually contact your doctor?
Second: How do you handle symptoms of mania?
Now a little about me: I am married (10 yrs) and have three children. I live in Oklahoma. I enjoy reading, internet, and relationships. I was diagnosed with Bipolar in 2004 but can see the symptoms as a teenager. I've been in and out of the hospital quite a few times in the last 3 years, having episodes on a monthly basis. Finally I enjoyed three months of being level. Now I'm pretty sure I'm in hypomania --2-3 hours sleep per night, extra energy, more talkative, feel freer, well you know the drill. This seems to be a nice forum so I thought I'd join.
