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.

It’s also characterised by a sensation of excessive energy. People who are manic are unable to sleep and feel like they can’t stop. Sometimes this means doing risky things and can escalate into delusions where they believe they can do things that a human body can’t physically survive.
Most people with bipolar tend to have long periods of depression and very short periods of mania.
