I don't know what I should be doing.

I haven't posted here before so bear with me. I don't have a psychiatrist right now, I kind of got angry and stormed out from the office of my last one so I can't go to her anymore. I haven't slept properly for like, 23 days now, Like, not more than 4 hours a night, usually 2. I've been going and going and going all day and night, trying to find things to do because I have so much energy and nothing to do with it. I'm pretty sure I'm in a kind of manic like mood or something, but I have no idea what to do about this, I'm rapid cycling I usually just let it burn itself out in a couple days but this has almost been a month. It has NEVER lasted this long, ever, in 11 years of this I can't remember it lasting this long. I can't sit still, I can't concentrate, I'm pretty sure I'm annoying the hell out of people.
I really just have no idea what to do at this point, I don't really have anyone to go talk to about it, I have no doctor at the moment.
Well I kind of lied, it has lasted this long before but it was different then, I had a psychotic episode that time and I'm pretty sure I'm not having one right now.

Depending on how bad things get when you are off medication there's a lot that could happen. I know before my current recovery the one time I stopped all treatment I ended up in the hospital. No one really likes hospitals but sometimes they are needed but stopping treatment completely can make people do things that will cause them to end up in the hospital involuntarily. If you don't want to go to the hospital I would suggest going to an outpatient walk in clinic just to start treatment again and if you had difficulties with what you were on then you could ask about other options.

Going back to the hospital while feeling like this is one thing I will not do. Having nothing to do all day but stare at a wall with all this energy, if I sit still for more than a moment I feel like I'll explode, let alone for a week or more.
What's the worst that could happen if I didn't?

You need help kiddo. I agree, a help line or check yourself into a psy hosp to get on meds. Don't do it on your own as a crash is coming, Good luck

I think that you should look in a phone book or call directory assistance for a mental health crisis line. A crisis line is open 24 hrs a day, 365 days.

I really would encourage you to call a crisis line and tell them what is going on, and they will get you some immediate help. Please, please call.
