Because it’s better them my my post-psychosis depression. I feel dreadful.
My pdoc didn’t say anything, just a little nod of his head like he always does. Does that sound reasonable wanting to be manic?

Mania
Is at the other extreme so no. Maybe hypomania?

It’s easy to say I want to be manic, but if you are truely manic you’re more than just happy, you’re delusional m. Hypomanic is much better

if you want to be manic, lots of pepsi, coffee. but you wont like it
I could just take my friends antidepressants lol
I’ve said this to my pdoc too at times. When I was younger I had quite a few manic episodes but I grew out of them I guess. It’s nice at first, getting all that motivation and energy, but after three days of no sleep with increasingly horrifying halucinations it’s not fun anymore.

I prefer being manic to being depressed, too. I can at least get stuff done, and I feel euphoric during my manic phases.
I sometimes miss feeling manic, now that I am stable. But with mania comes things like taking dangerous risks and blowing my entire paycheck on new hair bows instead of groceries. Nostalgia makes me remember the fun parts and forget the horrible parts. But mania can be truly horrible. Especially when it slips from fun euphoria into being irritated about everything. The overwhelming rage is not something I want to experience again.

I was manic/hypomanic for the last two weeks, and then I got sick and other things happened, now I’m really depressed and life sucks. It’s a little bit better today. But the rain comes after the thunder…

It is not that good to be full blown manic:
