If you could choose either depression or mania to never have again, which one would you choose to cut out of your life forever (but still have the other one present)?

Just curious as to what others would choose and why.

I think I would choose to get rid of mania symptoms. Nothing terrifies me quite as much as the effects of chronic insomnia, and also the agitation / morphing into a crazed asshole is pretty terrible. With depression I feel like I can mostly hide it and function well enough. I might feel miserable, but I don't feel crazy. I just cry 2-3 times a day and sleep a lot. It sucks but it's not scary the way mania symptoms will be for me. That is how I experience both, so that is what I would pick.

You?
