I thought, when it comes to the mania phrase of bipolar, that mania was when you start on a spending spree, or something.
Well I found out I was wrong! I found out mania comes in different forms, racing thoughts being one. Racing thoughts accompanied with acting out such thoughts, including words. I am horrified!!!!!
How do I make it up to the people I hurt, a few not knowing of my condition? Do I tell them I have bipolar? Wouldn't that lead to prejudice?
All this time I didn't know. I knew how I felt during my mania (without knowing it was mania).
