Very good point.

I hope the questions can be used regardless current state, but as you said, they might not (or certainly won't fit you).

I questions are about a non-depressive state. The importance (where the first questions are about) of anything is not felt during depression, like emotional blindness, so please answer the questions in the context of stability or mania (given my assumption that mania is more a matter of degree than of difference in qualities/types/symptoms.

If you don't think my assumption is valid in your case, please answer from the point of view where you are (more or less; as good as or completely) stable.

But very good question. Questionnaires that don't account for that really hard to answer, I agree.

So basically, not from a depression perspective.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
