"Chasing the dragon" is a phrase that means to chase a high you once experienced but now is unattainable.
For me, real mania is increased social/sexual activity, talking very fast, my facial muscles tense up, I roll my tongue and grind my teeth, and I go days without sleep. Each manic episode picks up where the other one left off, and the insomnia becomes more severe each time. I've walked out on 3 jobs when I've been manic. I spent $700 in Wal-mart once. I bought volumes of legal books in Barnes & Noble.
So I'd be real careful not to train your brain to have a tendency towards mania. It has been much more destructive to my life than depression.
> And what do i have to watch out for, what does true mania feel like? You scared me a bit.
