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.

This is like asking why doing lots of cocaine or meth is a bad idea — it feels great! It’s not just the come down. It’s also that people experiencing mania are going much faster than they can control, which can lead to terrible consequences — they have too much sex, they spend too much money, they make life changes that don’t make sense in reality, etc.
