Yes. I can be on the up side of the bipolar. I like it there and often avoid telling my doctor about it cause I know she will try to "stabilize" me which means knocking me down a notch or two. I know when I'm too manic and I'll call her then, but alittle feels good. The only problem is stress can knock me down into a depressed state really quick. If I'm lucky I'll pull out of it with rest. I've had a few occasions in the pass few years where the depression was severe. Nothing seemed to help. This is a common pattern among bipolars bears as we refer to ourselves.
