I have a lot of memory loss with manic episodes......I lose parts of days, like an alcoholic blackout. I don't get delusional, but am occasionally grandiose. I do have the flight of ideas, racing thoughts, clanging (where you think of a word like "mouse" and then "house, spouse, blouse, louse" etc.) and coming up with new lyrics to old songs, can't stop moving, can't stop talking, can't eat, can't sleep, don't care, clean everything in sight, even pressure-wash the porch for hours on end. I also spend money like there's no tomorrow and bite peoples' heads off with any or no provocation.
I think that probably crosses the line from hypo to mania. YMMV.
