It may be that the lack of stress in you life right now is helping you stay "level" - or you may be mildly hypomanic and that's why things seem to be going so well. Definitely have your wife - and friends, if they know your situation - look for any signs that your mood is going up. If you crash, you'll definitely know but you may very well not know that your mood is getting too elevated.

I didn't have insurance for a few years and was able to continue to get treatment. My psychiatrist agreed to charge me the amount that my HMO had been paying her since I was already established with her. She also gave me samples of my medication because there was no way I could afford it.

Be sure you're not in denial about your mental health. Get evaluated by a psychiatrist, not your family doctor. Work with him/her to get treatments. At the very worst, go to a public health clinic to receive your treatment.

Good luck - I'm wishing the very best outcome for you.
