I generally think of mania as being a positive experience for the individual, wherase anxiety is purely negitive.
I mean there is dysphoric mania, but that is characterized by things like rage and excessive
energy.There is a difference between can't sleep and don't want to sleep. There is a difference between a mind racing with a flight of ideas and a mind racing with fears.
I think that the diagnosis of mania has become clouded these days with all of the factors of drug induced states.
I think that you know yourself best.
