I have always felt "up" after flying west. And when I had my first bout with mania, I was staying in a hotel in a high up floor. So I'm wondering if going up and down on the elevator had anything to do with what put me over the edge.
Also during manic times, I like to sort things too. Like I will spend hours or days sorting Pokemon or Magic cards. But the last time I got into that, my husband told me to stop after a few hours, so I haven't messed with them much since then.
Mania is scary though. I wouldn't want anything to help me feel it more.
