I would say that distractibility and attention kind of go hand in hand. If you're distracted, you're not really paying attention, right? But, I still think it's a little different. In ADHD, your attention drifts whether you're distracted or not. With hypo/mania, your attention drifts because you're distracted... if that makes sense.
It's the impulsivity that's really different. In mania, impulsivity presents itself as "OMG I LOVE CHOCOLATE. I'M GOING TO INVEST $100,000 IN A CHOCOLATE COMPANY." In ADHD, impulsivity is more along the lines of impatience.

I get that (not as in like that, luckily: I have enough problems)! Makes perfect sense. Interesting. Thanks.

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.
