I am schizoaffective, and I know part of the symptoms is to feel intense emotion or no emotion at all. When it comes to sadness and frustration, I have felt the intensity. Recently, with a few things, I get an overwhelming sense of happiness. To the point of tears. And I'm wondering what that is? It's really new to me, because I've never felt intense happy before, and am wondering if that's mania? And has anyone experienced this? Do I let the tears flow, laugh manically/smile ridiculously big? I feel weird.

For me, when manic, I am easily excited. Everything is right in the world, I spend a shit ton of money I don't have, make plans I won't commit to, and try to get my entire life together in 15 minutes.
