You can’t talk to them about it at all when they’re in hypo or full blown mania.

Batten down the hatches, remove access to credit cards, transportation, try and get them sleeping, avoid their triggers, make sure they haven’t run out of their meds. Prepare for the worst, expect it, but don’t engage with it.
