Mania is no joke. The big book calls it “feelings of grandeur”, but it very often feels more like oneness and pure love for everything and everyone. There’s no medical explanation for it but it can be rationally described as the Christ consciousness. Where else could such abundant unconditional love come from? There isn’t a medical explanation for love.

We have a suicide prevention hotline because they don’t want to lose valuable workers, but they don’t have an unconditional love support line. Medicate yourself and get back to work, loser.

Even the most euphoric mania should be corralled because it will turn to anger and irritability as the episode takes its inevitable turn to depression.
