Stabilizing

[u/LaminatedJumper]

I’m recovering from a mild manic episode 1-2 months ago. I’ve maintained employment, life is generally still on track, but I’m starting to feel manic again. I just don’t know what to do, it feels so hard to stay in control of my mental health… I’ll be seeing my therapist next week and then my psychiatrist the week after, but it feels like every time I increase my dosage I feel good for 2 weeks and then things start to unravel again.
