Or (hypo)manic. Let me tell you from experience, I have a feeling of immense vulnerability when in a severe (hypo)manic state. It can sometimes become next to impossible to screen the consequences of actions that are taken. After I settle down, looking at the after math of the damage that is done leads to immense guilt and shame. Its almost as bad as being depressed and sometimes swings me back into a depression.A lot of relationships can get destroyed in a very short time frame and bridges can be burned and never repaired. You may start to feel like an outcast trying to desperately reintegrate yourself into your circle of society. Trying to explain to people what happened after the fact and maybe "beg for forgiveness" is very demoralizing. I've been there. :-(
