My manic symptoms include insomnia, racing thoughts, meglomania, hypersexuality, and psychotic delusions mainly involving paranoia and ideas of reference. Every episode has required hospitalization. My depressive episodes involve suicidal ideation, immense self-doubt and complete cessation of functioning.
True BPI has no remission other than through chemical maintenance. I am fortunate that lithium has kept me mostly symptom free for 40 years (except for one manic relapse 3 years ago).
