Mania season is starting for those of us above the equator- and this is a dangerous time as it feels so good to feel better after the winter months.
Have you become manic at this time in the past? Do you have a plan for mania prevention now?
Here are some signs of mania: 
You need a lot less sleep, but feel fine.
You talk louder than everyone else.
If you are in a room of people, your behavior gets stares.
You think- oh god! It’s so great to be better! This is the real me!
You drink more.
Work is easier.
You start to think you don’t need meds.
This list could go on and on. Look at your mania Health Card and see what happened at this time last year. If you’re like me, you have to be careful! If you don’t have a mania Health Card, now is a good time to create one as you’re stable enough if you’re able to read this.
