With that said, a good strong query letter is also key as this will give the publisher or agent their first impression of you and your work.
Oh my god dude you just described my manic episodes to a T. It has ruined a lot for me in life and I fear that because of it I will spend the rest of my life alone.

Same here. I'm very lucky that I have a Mom who takes care of me by keeping up with my doctor appointments and making sure I take my medication. A lot of people with mental illness like Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia don't get any support from their families or from the places that are supposed to help them out which is why they end up on the streets or worse.
I worry every day about what I'm going to do when my mom eventually passes away because I'm not sure that I can take care of myself and I really don't have anybody else. I don't trust my brother or sister to take care of me because they are both very self-centered and I feel like they would both kick me out once they got tired of me. So I really just don't know what to do about the future...
