I agree, Becky. Read everything that you can get your hands on. And

find a good psychiatrist who is well-versed in treating bipolar disorder.

My late husband also suffered from Bipolar II. Like many bipolar folks,

he got addicted to his manic periods, as they provided such rushes of

energy and (perceived) productivity. Definitely an issue to watch for

as you begin this journey.

Best,
