Pure euphoric mania is the most amazing feeling and I do love it but friends and family have said I become very selfish and obsessed with the strangest things so it really affects my relationships which is not good. So, if I lived in isolation, yeh, manic states are awesome but the fallout due to how it affects others makes it not worth it. When I was manic recently I went snorkelling and it was the most exhilarating, euphoric, sensory, ecstatic experience I have had for a very long time. It felt divine.
Mostly I get mixed states and they are hell as the agitation and irritability is off the charts and I feel so wound up with no relief.
