My mom is so mean when I used to call her excited about something she’d day I was manic. I may be awake all night tonight. I got outside today and the temperature was 65° and sunny. We don’t have many days like that. And I started cleaning my apartment something I was anxious over for a year because my manager inspects except they haven’t since the pandemic. I once thought about taking extra lexapro to induce mania, since it does in higher doses. I like my mania, I never buy things or do crazy things and I am very interested in life. Why can’t I be happy without it being mania? I am schizo affective with bi polar.

It doesn’t sound like you’re going off the rails, I guess it’s a lot better than just being flat all the time
I guess the bipolar is the the source of your mania. A lot of people report liking the highs associated with bipolar such as an increase in creative thinking and energy. However, what goes up must come down.
Whenever I say something like “I’d like to be manic, sounds like fun. Better than the dull feeling I usually have.”, someone always jumps down my throat and tells me how bad mania is and how it cost them friends and family or something.
It did for me. Almost lost my family, I would have ended up in the streets if I didnt stop the mania.
