I want to preface this by saying I’m not a doctor or professional so please take everything I say at face value-
I personally don’t know much about being unmedicated and the periods between hypomanic episodes, but my guess would be that you could have months of stability. I’ve been on the proper meds for about 3 years now and had one hypomanic episode about 2 years after I started those meds, but haven’t had one since, so I do know that it’s possible to go very long periods of time without having episodes when medicated.
Does anyone else have any thoughts/experiences they’d like the share?

I’m not a professional but I’d say yeah… any excessive alcohol or drug use is reckless and dangerous.

I’m not a doctor or professional so please remember that everything I say is based solely on the experiences I’ve had and the wisdom I’ve gained from those experiences.
Personally, I’m very against self diagnosing. It’s impossible for us to not be biased towards ourselves, especially when we aren’t feeling super stable. That’s why it’s important to see a professional that can remain unbiased and can properly assess, diagnose, and treat you. I know not everyone has adequate access to basic mental health care and that’s bs, but I’d encourage you to be very mindful about self diagnosis.

I haven’t worked them but my psychiatrist has strongly opposed the possibility of it ever occurring because she’s worried it’ll trigger an episode.
Has anyone else experienced this and has more experience based wisdom and advice?
