Because I thought I was embarrassing my brother…because I thought he was upset with me…it’s not hormones.
Maybe you could do some reality testing. Maybe you could ask your brother in a tactful way how he felt about it.

How do you think you were embarrassing him?
I thought I talk a lot of crap I’m generally self conscious and will really think back and regret. He said I’m being stupid
that supports my hypothesis that he is an asswhole.

I’m not certain it’s a crash. I was happy just not manic happy. I mean I found a new job for goodness sake of course I was happy. But now I feel like hiding away in my room 
A “cognitive (distortion) crash” straight up.
Are you into books? Wayne Dyer’s Your Erroneous Zones is a real good place to start on uprooting this kind of thinking. Other good authors on the same subject include Martin Seligman, Albert Ellis, Aaron Beck, David Burns and Donald Meichenbaum.

Bpeers can be the most volatile and vulnerable of people. I hope your still keeping a mood journal as these things come in handy for finding your triggers. .

How can thought processes change that instantly is beyond me
Not quite instantly, but when one learns to observe to notice to recognize to acknowledge to accept (that one has the thoughts; not that they are “true”) to own to appreciate (why) to understand (what is going on), the autonomic nervous system responds, fight or flight pressure begins to ease, and one can get up out of the trap.
Buy one of those books. See what I mean. Or… go on doing what you’re doing now and see if things get any better. (I’m not here to be popular; I’m here to be truthful.)
The CBTs work. All one has to do is do them.

I don’t think he is . He just said I didn’t really embarrass him and that i can relax. Just tried to make me feel better. I know sometimes he doesn’t understand but he does try.
Can mania be so subtle that its hard to tell?
the simple answer is Yes - its called Hypomania
