I have never had the type of mania that would make me think: I miss being high like that.

What are you trying to accomplish by telling them the thing from the past? Are you trying to be understood? Are you trying to understand yourself? Are you trying to be informative?

If I was trying to understand myself I might talk to a therapist about it. But if I have a 15 minute check-up with my pdoc I might just report how I have been doing lately.

If you are not sure how to talk about it you could write it like you have here and just ask the person to read it and ask them about it.
