Therapy: Although you may improve spontaneously chances are you need help managing this symptom with cognitive behavioral therapy. There are some medications that would be a consideration as well depending on your severity and capacity to tolerate pharmacotherapy. There is help and you are not alone. Stay safe!

What happens if I forget to take my inh pill?

How often?: Skip it once, probably not much. Skip it more often and the tuberculosis germ can become resistant to the inh, makes it worse for you (won't kill it off), and for the rest of us (development of multiple drug resistant tuberculosis). It is a real public health problem. You must take your meds.

Is it normal that I have trouble remembering my manic periods?

It is common: It is very common to have trouble recalling details when one is very ill with mania. The ability to attend or pay attention is impaired when one is manic. If you don't attend in the first place, it is not possible to recall later.

More questions: Well there is a need to get more answers from you before getting to the bottom of the problem...
Is this a new concern, has it gotten worse lately or do you remember ( no pun intended ) dealing with memory issues since you were little?
Better to bring this up to your pcp or psychiatrist if you have one.

I'm literally addicted to harry potter. How do I stop this obsession without forgetting the series completely?

Addiction vs compuls: Addiction is different from compulsion. Any habit if it is not serving you is a problem. But if you are able to do your normal activity and not interfere with your lifestyle is not a problem. If you think there is a problem maybe you just need to create boundary. So tell yourself what one specific think you are neglecting by doing this and add this factor into your life to feel less guilty.
