Where does mania begin and personality end? [View all]
Just wondering, the posts yesterday plus my own thoughts about things do leave me wondering at times -- is this mania, or is this just me? And, if it's something I feel positive about, but then question, that leaves me a bit sad to think maybe it's a symptom of disease and not just my personality.
My example for today, I just rode my new bike 30.33 miles. I posted about it very proudly in the lounge:

But here, I ask the question -- was it mania? It doesn't feel like mania, I set this goal ahead of time, it wasn't just some spur of the moment thing, I've been working on building up my stamina and strength and pushing myself to go further and further -- went up from 15 to 21 to 25/26 to now 30 1/3 miles.
It feels like victory, not disease. So I hope it is victory.
