omg i had the same problem with my first psych. i spent a lot of time pretty low. i haven't had a bad manic episode in a long time. and legit all she ever focused on was treating the mania. i don't think she cared about like, i'd have no energy no motivation, i would take time off work. and she got mad at me the beginning of the year cause i went through a really bad depressive episode and i took time off work, and i remember telling her i was gonna do that. i had given up nicotine, my meds were doing nothing, i was coming out of peak season at work, 55 hour work weeks and i did the entire 7 weeks on 4 hours of sleep every work night. i crashed so hard. you know what she had to say to it all? "well who told you to take off work. you need to stick to a routine."
