Hey Everyone, I made it out to the other side! For the last 3 weeks I have had a full manic episode that almost ended me in the hospital twice. Both times I was up for 4 days straight with no sleep. It never bothered me till yesterday when it felt like I was hot by a train. I don't mean that figuratively. I mean my entire body hurts and some parts wouldn't move, almost like being paralyzed. I don't remember too much of it, just bits and pieces. At some point, I broke my hand in multiple places from the pinky knuckle to the wrist. There is no damage to my house, so either it was in public, or against something hard. There was a voice in my head that felt like it took control of my body so I could "relax" with an almost dream-like feel. My dreams were very similar to my waking time, but with minor differences. Meanwhile I had visual disturbances during the day that made me question if I was awake or asleep. That's when I got the little sleep I did. On the positive side, I got 3 months of work done and ready to implement (tech job), my whole house is spotless, and the needed repairs to my relationships are fixed. Apparently I also RSVP'd to a wedding in a completely different state and already bought a first class ticket. My bank isn't happy but at least in the future I will appreciate the past me. I'm a little drained so this is about where my word vomit ends. 
If anyone has questions, please don't be afraid to ask. Things I have learned on this subreddit and from my therapist helped keep it in better control. I would be more than happy to pay it forward if it would help someone. 

You are all strong and persistent. Love you all and I wish you all the best no matter where you are in your journey.
