Yes it will have an impact on your mental health. It sounds as if you are on a manic high if you are unable to sleep normally. You are tired but your body is probably not feeling it but your brain is.
I am Bipolar also and have been in the same situation more than once until I come down and hit bottom. You will eventually come down and then the manic lows will start.
Are you on any kind of medication to control the Bipolar Disorder because if you aren't I would suggest that you see a doctor immediately to be put on a regimen of meds to straighten yourself out. Remember that once you are Bipolar and put on meds that you can never stop taking those meds for the rest of your life. You are stuck with them unless you want to get sick over and over again. If you do not come down off of the manic high that you are on now then you can also go to the nearest emergency room for help. I hope you can get some sleep because I know that you need it. Good Luck and God Bless you.

Well not sleeping for two days is almost normal for a person with bp disorder in a manic fase, probably his helath will suffer some consecuences but due to the manis state his in he will not percieve them.

well as true as that may be..it will have an effect on a person..as brain cells die out by the millions after skipping sleep even just for 24 hrs..so your PT will be much more likely to go off the deep end at this stage.

A bipolar will not sleep for days. What is your point? If he isn't on meds, that is a normal function for a bipolar.

as long as you deeply are adjusted and you care, believe me ~(^_^)~your okay, if your going to be sociopathic and absses, that sucks, so be happy and time that anything happens and that the keys to see you gotta be you and it's just fine, i have friends that will not party at wee hours of the morning they have never seen a clock at that time except to go pee, there are fun thing to analyze about everything that has change over that period of time and you perceive all this and ask why, that's good stuff, your just fine.

This can bring about a depressive phase. Look at the life of Hanel when the Messiah was written.
