Legna, Hello my name is Sue and I would just like to give you the heads up on how manic episode was such a challenge for me.  Im BiPolor with manic depression.  I was diagnosed in 1997.  Im 42 right now and remember when I was young how much depression I struggled with and in my late teens I turned manic.  When I have been in my manic states I would have them for months at a time.  Yes it does seem like your happier and all the energy that goes along with it.  The only problem with this state is that I always made bad decisions and the high that went along with it is whay I didnt see a problem.  After years of the ups and downs I have learned this.  My scariest state is manic.  The reason why is once you go up you have to come down (and you will)  For me the longer I was manic the harder the low would fall and the deeper depression would be.  I hope that you make your Dr. aware of your manic state.  Please make sure you have people in place to help you come down from this state.  Anyway thats how it was for me.  I know what you mean when you say your happy right now but please be aware BP and how the disease works.  Take Care
