but mania is a flight that crashes and burns 

beginning i felt amazing, on top of the world, loving everyone and socializing like crazy with a dash of hallucinations 

then the crash into depression and psychosis where the world is darker than ever with paranoia and delusions. the hallucinations get worse and worse 

lastly, the burn where it ends in a hospital stay till the fire can slowly be put out. 

that’s how i felt lazy manic episode. it lasted 8 months and it was hell but i didn’t know it till i crashed. bipolar can get so dark so fast.
