Restraints in life-intensity because of mania prevention

Hey There
I am male, 21 and my disorder is a mix of bipolar I and II and a bit of rapid cycling.
My daily medication is currently 350 mg Lamotrigin for general mood stabilazing, 150 mg Sertralin for my neurons to regenerate from my past episodes, 2.5 mg Olanzapin (currently in reduction, I used to take 10 mg for not drifting away) and finally 15 mg Mirtazapin against sleeping issues. Now and then I take 1-5 mg Lorazepam as emergency medication when I am under stress and feeling a sudden rush of (hypo)mania.

It kind of sucks to take such an amount of psychopharmaceutical agents and still having to struggle with the general vibe of the disease.

I often have to limit my social activities, my college curriculum and my love life in order to prevent hypomania which could escalate into full-blown mania if I let myself totally go.
This is very frustrating, since I am very intelligent and artistically talented and I have enough friends, so there would be a big potential for an exciting, intense life, but I cannot go to partys whenver I want, I cannot attend college as much as I want because the discussions (I am studying philosophy) are a trigger too and I cannot fall in love with whomever I want (in fact, falling in love with the wrong person triggered my first hypomanic episode on the brink of full-blown mania).

I currently hate my life because of the situation described.
Sharing all this with people who have similar problems makes me feel less bitter.

In addition, I wanted to ask if any of you people manage to have an exciting, intense life without sliding into (hypo)mania and if so, how.

I had an exciting life in my 20's. I still went to the bar with friends and had girlfriends. I did give up marijuana because that made me manic. I know what you mean about college. You have to lower your expectations and take it easy on your self. I would focus on a career and a plan B and C if things don't work out. At this point, I'm living a quieter relaxed life as I'm older but I have no desire for a wild life anymore. I would live it up a little when you're young, just be careful.
