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 can ruin relationships, drain your bank account, land you in the hospital, cause violent behavior, delusional behavior, irrational decisions. Feeling elevated and excited can be a good thing of course, but not when it escalates into a manic episode where you lose control over your thoughts and actions. Inevitably followed by an equally deep depression in Bipolar disorder.
