Ashyr,

As someone without bipolar disorder, can someone explain this to me? Is this just like saying, yeah, it’s a bad decision but I’m doing it anyway?

Mania is sort of like being drunk except you are hyper aware and full of energy like you drank a full pot of coffee. Your ideas will make perfect sense to you at the time, but they’re likely complete nonsense like hearing someone’s great idea for an app.

You can also get hyperfocused on things, whether they are good or bad. For instance I spent almost an entire month just learning how to program in Python. I’ve also gotten hyperfocused on people I don’t like and dug through the Internet finding out everything about them and imagining about bad things I would like to do to them and imagining different scenarios. Basically delusional thinking.

Ashyr,

That’s really interesting and I appreciate you sharing your perspective.
