I'm completely confused by your statement.
Mania..."better part of bipolar"...not at all. During the time of mania, the person can feel ecstatic and "right" about everything. But what's really happening (what other people are experiencing from the person in a manic episode) is EXTREME intensity of emotion - irritability/anger/rage, severe anxiety, paranoia, delusions, very poor decision-making, grandiose sense of self (I know better than everyone else what the best thing to do is because the universe has chosen me), recklessness; the list goes on.
Usually after mania subsides what remains is guilt, shame, regret, and wrecked relationships.
