describing a manic episode

i always described bad manic episodes as just really fast thoughts or people yelling at me but i’m currently manic (and uh high) and i thought of a much better way to describe it.

so imagine you’re watching a movie, where a person is stuck in a dark room, surrounded by tv’s. these tv’s were all on, but they were all on different channels, there wasn’t a duplicate channel on any tv big or little. and then it’s overwhelming and the room starts spinning *camera spins around character for dramatic effect* and boom you just created the inside of my mind during a manic episode.

what do you describe them as? are your manic episodes bad
