My name is Chris (female) and I'm 17. I have bipolar and GAD.

I've been learning a LOT about this "spiritual emergency" on YouTube and I was wondering what other's thought about it. It's about mania being a positive thing and letting yourself go through mania to heal. It's about coming out a better person. IDK, I'm really into it. I think people see mania as such a negative thing, like "She's going crazy, she's insane, she needs meds." But I don't think of it as a bad thing anymore. I'm manic right now and I'm trying to see this as a "spiritual emergency" rather than trying to fight it and it seems to be working. It's about surrending to the mania, being on a certain level of conciousness, and growing from the experience... Look it up on YouTube if you want to see what I'm talking about exactly.

Yes, it can be a "spiritual emergency meaning it really test your faith.  You must remain positive and be in contact with the Lord as you Healer.  Bipolar can really affect the spiritual side and if you loose your faith you can become very negative and you can loose your life.  I experience this in my own personal life and I am sure there are many others who does...

somebody in an extreme manic state may believe this is spiritual energy, they may even believe they are god, it is mania, true healing comes in the form of not going through the ups of mania and the downs of depression. the goal of all bipolar people should be some stable ground. spiritual energy, i had a friend that was so manic he tought he could fly, guess what he couldnt, he broke both legs. reality, mania is not spiritual. it is part of the illness.
