You must understand that when a person is manic, their perception of the world and their existence in the world is different. Most believe they are unstoppable, nothing could hurt them, there is TONS of things to do and see, thoughts are racing, colors are bright and vivid, and time does not stop.

Exactly so. The world is a different place- I don't feel I am IN the world and this new world works on different rules. In fact, it is as if the old world is not there anymore and I don't understand ANY rules anymore!
