I understand that this is considered a mental health disorder and I’m sure there is a reason why but Mayo Clinic says that mania is characterized by an extremely elevated and excitable mood. It sounds to me like I would enjoy being elevated and excited. Now I totally can see why depression would suck in the case of bipolar especially oscillating between the two, but unipolar mania is a thing too.

mania is not a disorder, but rather a symptom.
it’s bad because too much of anything is bad. it’s the extreme opposite of depression. you should be feeling balanced or “neutral”. below neutral is depression and above neutral is mania.
also, it is commonly misunderstood that the feeling of mania is just a euphoric feeling, but it is much more intense that. so intense that it can sometimes lead to illogical thinking, hallucinations, and agitation. it can also lead to other detrimental physical side effects such as sleep deprivation.
