[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Of course I am happy for her. She has overcome some hard stuff. She is just different now.  She is extremely happy and full of energy all of the time. She posts on social media how happy she is and all of the new things she is doing.

My ex husband suffers from bipolar disorder. I mania when I see it.[/quote]

No, you probably don't. Two+ months isn't when drug-induced mania usually hits. IME, that's in the 2 week range. Two months into the bliss of a cloud-free sky after months/years/decades of grey stormy sadness looks like you're describing. It's not mania, it's happiness. You don't give any details about the new relationship, but a new relationship isn't necessarily mania. You don't describe your friend's behavior as grandiose, or excessive... she's not gambling or participating in freak offs... Nothing you've mentioned suggests mania or anything other than remission from depressive symptoms caused by anti-depressants taken as prescribed by her doctor.

YOU, however, sound like you need a problem to get involved in. How's your own life? How's your own mental health? What problems of your own are you ignoring in favor of microanalyzing your so-called friend?[/quote]
