I fixate aggressively on topics. Feel quite capable and that it is my responsiblity to correct a situation (even if its out of my hands) I feel like I must often steer things in the right direction. I feel very strong, powerful, capable and focused. I can be quite formidable - at times. It doesn't always feel like mania, it seems totally sensible at the time.

Later I can wonder how I got so over-involved.

I have added 'fixate' on my list of symptoms I keep track of because it is usually close to around mania - before, during or after. I never fixate around depression.

Idk if know that helps. Good luck to you.
