I have a family member with bipolar disorder, honestly can't remember which one but I'm thinking it was bipolar II, and yeah...it was misdiagnosed for DECADES, thanks to the other half-dozen health issues family member has going on concurrently. Getting a good balance of medication AND therapy is so important. Family member hasn't achieved it yet, so she still has manic episodes regularly and ends up doing really self-destructive things and seems to have no idea why. Sooo I guess what I'm saying is to not stop until you've gotten it under control because it can be a really nasty disorder if it gets a chance.
I kinda suspect my mom is a bipolar too, since she has episodes similar to what you're describing (ALL THE IDEAS. ALL THE BIG CRAZY IDEAS. DO THEM NOW), luckily she burns herself out very quickly and she's got enough logic around most of the time to reign things in >>.
