Manic for me ??? Im a Rage-y, deep angry ball of sadness with endless energy that never eases ... There is nothing nice about it .. Manic does not always = creative.

Having loads of creativity would probably be amazing or for many its a bloody curse because altho they are creating art or music or whatever they never seem like its good enough and then at some point that inability to be the best of the best of the best is going to cause them to crash and burn and likely want to crawl in a hole and never come out.

Bipolar comes in all shapes and sizes... You trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
