Hi IR. Welcome to Psych Central. Sorry you experienced mania.
You say you are suffering from Depression in your profile and here you talk about mania. I am a peer supporter and cannot diagnose your condition but everything you have said so far matches up with what other people I know that are diagnosed as bipolar. When they have mania they can get psychotic and paranoid and they are sometimes call schizoaffective by their medical professionals.
Symptoms of mania is described more here
