not really ... but I have never met anyone like this before ...
I have seen mania in movies , videos and read about the same ... Today I met the poster child ... what she does not do ... no money issues , no down days ever , never been depressed or even blue ... no long lasting love interests , (says she wears them out ... 4 ex bf's at present) what she does do ... works 16 plus hours every day ... hits the ground running every morning ... sleeps the moment her head hits the pillow ... drives too fast ... and smokes ... I spent 30 minutes in her company ... as I set in a chair she danced around me ... she was talking around 50 words a minute ... but made total sense just would not shut up or even slow down ... 40 , female never married and ownes her own house .. drives an hour to and from work every day ... she would sit then stand then sit in seconds ... never stopped moving ... said she was like this as a teenage cheerleader and just never stopped ... gave me most of her life history and the theory of life in a few minutes ... said she was interested in hyponsis to stop smoking so I tried an experiment I stood face to face at arms length .. lightly touched her shoulders , asked her to pull her hands out of her pockets , which started moving , ... asked her to close her eyes and hold her hands still ... we tried several times ... she could not do either ... is this mania ? ... can one have mania all there life without ever having the down side ? ... I have never met , saw or even heard of anyone like her ... |

Yes. I think I had many years of mania. Always had a harem of men. Worked 2 jobs. Went to University at same time.
Bought 5 houses and later ran successful businesses that I invented. Went to gym, walked 5 miles a day & dance class. I will admit I had a breakdown at 19. But I had completed high school in 3 yrs 3.6 gpa while working full time. Moved away from home at 16 yrs old.
