I feel for you. This is probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

What you describe is pretty much classic for Manic depressive disorder or as it is now called, bipolar disorder.

Most people with manic bipolar of this type are very hard to get to take their meds. They are on a "high" kind of like an internal cocaine buzz. The meds take that away.

It also tends to get worse as time goes on without effective treatment.

I would recommend that you get counseling to learn how to deal with this.

There are very few people, if any that can control this on their own.

I know this sounds very down & I am sorry.

The best thing you can do is learn as much as you can about this disease & how to cope with it in a loved one.
