Dude, one doesn't 'act' manic. One either is manic, or he's not. One either is Bipolar, or he's not. If you're manic, then medication is pretty much the only thing that can save you. You want to know what a psychiatrist may say to a manic person? Read my post above, about what the well-known psychiatrist said to me. |
Dude, I go to the same places that you do (just probably not as often as I used to and probably not as often as you do)
My point wasn't that they are going to take away your meds and kick you out the door and while telling you "YOU'RE NOT ACTING MANIC TODAY"
And yes, you can act manic. Being Manic myself but it's only a subcategory for me, I know that on certain days, you can act more manic than on other days. It's an action that is caused by something that isn't on the surface of the mind. So yes, you may not be able to control your manic-ness but their are days when you will act less or more manic.
The places you go are similar to the places I go and they always focus on the positive and try to down play your manic-ness. That way with their positive reinforcement on you, you won't always be thinking "Am I manic"? "Am I acting Manic"? "I shouldn't go out today because I'm feeling manic"
I had this psychiatrist for 3 years and I saw him once a month and a therapist that I saw once a week, Well, that psychiatrist was in his late 70's, mega gear head and about to die. Anyway, he told me that all these med's are bullshit and most young people can wing themselves of all med's that deal with mental illness and live a normal life with a lot of courage. Once you start getting into your 50's and 60's and haven't winged yourself off then you're more than likely a lifer for med's. The other people that are usually lifers on med's are people that have pain issues, bad back or another part of the body. I know they give shots in the back in Pain Management but my mom said it only keeps the pain away for a few weeks.
