Sheer joy is one of the most wonderful things about mania
Sheer rage is one of the most horrible things about mania.
I have experienced both.
I'm what most people would call small (short, etc)
Once, when manic, I attacked another driver's car kicking in their door panels, yelling at the top of my lungs "which one of you m.f.s (bad word used at the time) wants to die first?"
I scared the two big burly guys in the car senseless.
The rage can be frightening
