What you describe doesn't particularly sound like mania to me. Or at least any kind of manic episode that I've personally experienced. To me it just sounds like you're feeling great and just in a legit good mood state.
Manic episodes are unique from individual to individual though... and even episode to episode.
A legit good mood is being able to sit back and enjoy the day and see that everything is beautiful and great.
If I'm hypomanic I can't just sit there. I MUST go out and do things. LOTS of things. And I must do them RIGHT NOW.
If I'm manic things simply can't get done fast enough and I get frustrated that I have to stop and eat. Stop and shower. I rage that it takes so long to drive somewhere. I am controlling the weather. I can control what people do or how people think. I can change people's minds and things are happening because I'M PERSONALLY making it happen. I don't need as much sleep because I'm gifted and special and no one before has ever done what I'm doing or thought of what I've thought of. Basically, what other's have said, when I'm manic, I AM A GOD. lol that really is the best way to describe it.
