I'm at my 2 days of " good days" which usually follows a manic episode and then a crash. How do I keep this streak a healthy one?

Most important is to stay on medication if you are prescribed any.

Use coping skills still: even if your doing well, it helps you to stay feeling accomplished & like you're taking care of you're mental health.

Take time for relaxation:
Even 15 - 30 minutes can help keep you calm & focused.

If you have a spiritual background study your scriptures & make use of prayer.

All this has helped me very much in managing my manic moods.

Hope you find this helpful.

Nap is 30 minutes or less after 4 hours of sleep previous night. Believe me, I'm not sleeping too much; still under the recommend 6-8.

Not a good idea Darcy. Sleeping too much gives you insomnia.

Sleeping is an issue. I do try & take a nap during the day.
