It wasn't a question just a thought. I can still remember the tone of your post which I read a couple days ago OP and it made my mania sensors go into high gear. I have mania so I know what its like; I'm not going to get into it now but mine seems more debilitating or at least caught up with a mind-fuck which makes it a problem. That said, from what I read, yours could definitely be more "high-strung" or "out-there" if you will, which is really dangerous. I mean, when exceptionally manic, people don't even notice, but their regard for the laws of our race basically disintegrates; someone could function with mania for years then one day overstep a bound that they aren't aware of and end up with the law or worse to deal with; and I have noticed that people are never as awesome or good at something as they believe when they're manic, so things quite aren't as they seem. This is scary for me and others when we realize. Fortunately, things exist which can help us. I am adamantly against medication, as are most bipolar people, so I've been searching around for more natural alternatives, though I am still addicted to a small but not insignificant amount of this medication.
Anti-psychotics are very powerful drugs. If nothing else, they give someone with manic depression the invaluable ability to see themselves clearly for an extended period of time, not just for the small window of opportunity we have when transitioning to a tiring energetic or worthless-feeling phase. I would take this in several steps.
Number one: try as hard as you can not to lie to yourself, even if you lie to everyone else; once you confuse yourself, you lose a base from which you can start anew if you mess up, and you lay several traps along your way to stability.
Second: get help from a friend or family member you trust and that you know loves you; tell them your situation and that you need their help.
Third (this is probably the hardest): go to psychiatrist and tell them all of the drugs you were taking, but also as much insight into your personality as you can give (for your own good, this involves talking about the drugs you dishonestly convinced psychiatrists to give you so you could be high). If you lie to the people around you, there is a drastically reduced chance of getting their genuine help. Tell them you want to try an anti-psychotic for at least a short period of time, which I can all but guarantee they'd prescribe anyways if you told them whats going on with you. This drug will allow you to sleep, it will reduce or eliminate your cravings to get high, it will level your moods, it will give you a sense of peace, it will allow you to connect with people on a deep level that you haven't before, it will make food more likable, and it may make you more amiable in the minds of others; your brain will appreciate the rest.
...for a month at least.
What say you?
Fourth: I think you need something on the level of a god to keep your path straight. Don't scoff, I think you know what I mean. Find it.
