What is being in a manic state? Why can’t they see it?
In: 20
To give you an idea of what mania feels like, imagine yourself as a poor miner that has just discovered gold. “EUREKA!!!!” Imagine this feeling. You are so excited that you just found gold. You imagine yourself with all the money you’ll have and what you’ll spend it on. Everything you worried about before is now gone. You are absolutely convinced of this.
This feeling of elation is caused by your creative thinking skills going 100mph. It’s causing you to lose sleep, stay awake for days, which then causes hallucinations. When something happens, you immediately react emotionally before your mind has time to think things through. To yourself, you don’t realize it unless you “take a step back” and think about what you’re experiencing more critically. Others can see it more readily because your personality has changed.
