Anyone with bipolar disorder?

Question: Any interesting "episodes" to tell? My friend had an episode where she just picked up and left her husband to drive to NY with her cat all by herself from Florida. She also spent 3,000 in hotels, restaurants, clothing, etc.

Answers:
I am bipolar. My craziest episode was obtaining about $4000 in personal loans and to this day I have no idea what I spent it on. I have black outs and cant remember where I have been or what I may have done. Very scarey for me. Now I am having a real hard time paying back this money.

Other Answers:
I have seen the disease do horrible things to wonderful people.

There is hope:

With medication, bipolar disorder is one of the most treatable mental diseases.

I was incorrectly diagnosed as being bipolar although I show so many classic symptoms. They had me on lithium which is a very common medication for awhile then took me off of it when they realized that I didn't need it. Now I'm taking depakote which acts as both a medication for bipolar and seizures. I am taking it for the seizures.
