It is easy to remember times like that as being with no problems, that everything was golden. A person in mania is not concerned about their own and other people problems that they are creating. I have been manic like that, and very self-destructive and a huge problem for others in my life. This is how I lost important relationships and in part was responsible for my divorce.

But it feels so good. I miss those very few times in my life where I was very productive and did everything. Everything was wonderful to me. And I did not do much damage to relationships this few times I was hypomanic, at least from what I know. Its those other times that has me really concerned. And also much of my mania is mixed. So that is not a good time.

But some people can live that way successfully. I wish I was one. But I am not.
