During mania, I am more likely to wear things that are flashy, including makeup. I become a lot more irritable during any mood episode. Sometimes I become obsessed by a random interest during manias (sometimes even dysphoric manias): writing, obsessed with certain shows/bands/people to a nearly unhealthy degree that is time consuming, collecting things. I might start something, but not finish it when manic.

Sometimes I become so focused on a major life change, whether it be moving, a big purchase, etc. But I often abandon the idea, because my thoughts are jumping around to one idea to the next. Other times, I will follow through and spend money when I shouldn't.
