Anyone whose bipolar ever force themselves into a manic episode because they've been depressed for so long?

Question

I think I'm gunna stay awake for as long as possible and proper break up my sleep & drink loads of energy drinks to try and lift my mood.. genuinely cannot cope with being depressed anymore. Any other ways I can do it?

Answer

while I understand Ur depressed and want to lift up Ur mood, sleep depravation , combined with energy drinks , are absolutely not the way to go about it.  u should do it the right way,  by getting outside help.

Answer

I've done that, facilitating manic episodes, great for the time being but then drop back into an even more severe depression and it all starts again, making you even more miserable. Eat well, sleep well and take care of yourself.

Answer

I think you should get help instead. And if you don’t like your doctor, find someone else you can trust. Being depressed sucks and I know how terribly hard it is to seek help, but I’m so glad I did it afterwards. I wish everything will work out better and better for you from now on. ❤️

Answer

I can’t do that. It doesn’t work for me. Honestly I just end up feeling super depressed and suicidal. I’d recommend that you don’t do that.
