If there is one thing I've learned from all my reading, this forum and exposure to different people with this illness, it's that it presents differently in all of us. I do tend to dress a little different when manic and have gotten my fair share of stares from it, but at the time I liked the outfits and didn't care. I don't know what manic looks like for you because I don't think I've seen it and I feel I need to see people in person and in action and for a long period of time before making such a call. If you are worried, telling some loved ones and erroring on the side of caution is never a bad idea in my experience. Good luck and I hope you are just happy and that it continues for a long time. It's the good times which help us get through the bad times so enjoy yourself within reason.
