I agree that "forcing" is likely to have bad effects, and I'm surprised that he is telling you to do that. Please be very careful, Karen. I know that you are hurt and angry. Just be careful about how you act since you are hurt and angry. Please take care of yourself.
You said: "He'll tell my Pdoc, I don't have to worry about it." Are you saying that Bubba will tell your Pdoc that you are manic? Karen, as wonderful as mania seems to be, it has a dangerous side, and you need to be responsible. It isn't Bubba's job to tell your Pdoc that you are in a bad (or too good?) place. That is your job. Just like it's your job to tell people if you are suicidal. You need to take responsibility for your health, and get the help you need when you need it.
It is so hard from here to see how you are doing. I really can't tell. But I do know that I've seen some posts from you that look fairly manic to me, so I have to assume that you are manic currently. When something like this Bubba thing goes down while you are manic, I get worried that you'll end up in a mixed state - where you have the energy and Omnipetence of mania with the destructive urges of depression. That is a very dangerous combination. So I'm worried. If my assumptions are not true - please tell me so I can stop worrying about you.
I think that it would be quite reasonable for you to question Bubba's homework assignment. Has he talked with his supervisor about this? Or you can go for a consultation, and get a second opinion on that. Or you could go to see your Pdoc and talk to HIM about it (this may be the best option).
Please don't let your world spin out of control. We like having you here.
