Hi Noah,
Welcome to this forum.
I'd like to note that my bipolar is otherwise under control at this time so I don't think it is a matter of medication or other medical treatment.
Also, I decided to post here because I am using a concentration technique.
Good to know. There's a tremendous group of sincere and studious folks here, so hopefully it will be a useful place for you to share your experiences, get support, get queried, get teacher and retreat resources, give your own suggestions and so on.
Good luck with your practice,
Katy
