Two manias for me as well.
I can feel like the world is mine and then I usually wind up
making rash or bad decisions and seem to hurt the ones I love.
Or I become very irritable where the littlest thing will drive me nuts.
I usually end up trying to be diplomatic about my complaints but it
ends up getting heated and again I seem to hurt the ones I love.
Mania on many occasions has also caused me to drive recklessly with a feeling
of invincibility and I have made some very bad decisions when it comes to sex.
I find it is the mania that is much harder for others to understand when it comes
to bipolar. It seems as if people just want to think you are a bad person even when
you have done so much good. They seem to understand the depression part but
seem unwilling to except the mania. For me the mania has done much more damage
to my family and my life.
