I can't imagine having that mania, like a tempter, always lurking and knowing how much fun it could be. It's absolute craziness, but I think I'd have a hard time not giving in.

However, a woman with bi-polar disorder came to talk to the organisation I volunteer with and yes, she at least, found a LOT to recommend in her manic periods. She said her ideas kept coming, she had the energy to act on them, she lost copious amounts of weight and she got a LOT of things achieved. She did say that she was grateful that after the first few episodes she had put some financial safeguards in place and she can no longer spend herself into bankruptcy or sell her home or her car.
