Sigh, I miss being manic. I enjoyed the entire ride.I too experienced delusions of grandeur (I thought I was a world class level adventurer and outdoors person - it led me to some pretty extreme and risky adventures).

But what goes up must come down. I was completely unprepared for it. A poster above mentioned the fall being crushing and embarrassing. I certainly experienced both.

I only wish there were people around me who loved me to get me some help before the crash.
