For me there is no doubt that the creativity and abundance of energy comes from the hypermania. As far as brainstorming, that part is not what is dangerous, rather it is the acting on them and starting them that poses the problems. I have demolished whole parts of my house, pulled my car completely to bits, taken on huge projects at work, only to be totally overwhelmed by them when the mania has subsided, which has then made the depression worse, as what I have started must then be finished whether I feel like it or not. Somehow, to turn it into a positive you need to be aware of how long the mania will last. For me, I usually harness it by cleaning everything within 500 feet of me these days and try to leave it at that
