Do Mania Episodes Always Feel Good?

i don’t enjoy it at all and i’ve always wondered about people who do. everyones mania is different i guess. because the euphoria never lasts for me as long as serious irritability, volatility, and sometimes psychosis…

I hate it, even just hypomania. I use to enjoy the early stages but overtime I've become immediately skeptical of the euphoric or highly motivated feeling. Like you said, it makes me very aware and doubtful of my behavior and turns into negative feelings quickly

Someone who relates to me. I become alarmingly self aware during my highs. It doesn’t show but understanding that how I am acting isn’t normal and is mentally exhausting and embarrassing is horrible.

I had my first manic episode in November; at the time I felt incredible, but once it all wore off I was horrified and embarrassed by the things I did. I’m so scared of it happening again.

The fear of th depression is why I hate the manic episodes. And like others have said looking back and being so embarrassed. I also feel like when I'm manic is when I tell people way too much about what's going on in my life and scare people who don't understand. I like it because I feel like I'm doing tasks even if I don't finish them. It's just the motivation to do everything. When I'm not manic I am so lazy and feel useless.

I do and I don't, when I'm manic I do feel like I am on top of the world but once I'm aware of this I know that I'm being ridiculous, making terrible decisions, and that the inevitable depression will hit soon

I enjoy getting manic, when you're energetic and charming and witty. I think of it as going up a mountain. Getting there is fun, but when I reach the top, I experience psychosis which isn't fun at all.

i feel like i get a lot of negative mania stuff, not being able to sleep as hard as i try, getting myself into bad situations and doings things i know i really shouldn’t. and when im upset everything is so much more volatile i feel unsafe for myself and those i love. so ya most of the time i dont like it

I definitely enjoy mania most of the time but some times when I am in front of people who don't know I'm bipolar, I get really scared they are judging me. for example I pace a lot when I'm manic and I have a hard time stopping but in front of some people I try to hold it in so I don't embarrass myself.

I've been there I have a love hate relationship with them because while I'm in it I love it (normally) but once I'm out I'm so embarrassed and scared about what I did.
