Hi, OF. I heard the magic word - stress. The stresses in your life may explain why your illness has suddenly flared up after lying dormant all these years. Bipolars are exceptionally vulnerable to stress, and there is no shame in acknowledging that sometimes life throws too much our way for us to handle. So getting back on the meds is probably a good idea for right now. You can assess the situation later, some time after the stress has gone down (assuming it does). As well as the meds, it pays to work on various stress-avoidance and stress-reduction techniques. Hope this helps -
