Also when I'm manic or depressed there is no hope in me sitting still long enough to read etc!

At the moment I feel quite stupid!
Usually depression is associated with stupidity and being slow while mania is associated with smart and witty etc. When I am in a manic episode I am an intellectual with impeccable logic but when I am depressed I get slow and
dumb because I have no energy. Dumb or smart are based on mania or depression and not being out a work or not.:-)
