With me a little bit manic or hypomanic is good..I tend to start spending too much money though...but then when it escalates into full blown mania its bad. Real bad. I hear voices, get paranoid and aggitated, don't sleep at all. My mind is racing and I talk so fast no one can understand me. I get wild ideas and try to manipulate anyone who tries to stop me. I am irrational. Yeah I yell and throw things too. Its horrible. I change into a monster in an instant ..one minute I'm on top of the world and the next I'm in a black rage an intant later the rage can be (but not always) gone> I hate it.
