Anxiety can cause manic symptoms, don’t you think? I know mine seems to.

Let’s see, when I’m anxious:

My body seems to have a lot of energy, fight or flight response indeed, which allows for me to sleep less.

Anxious people do have racing thoughts and a flight of ideas and often talk very fast without making much sense.

Anxious people need a release sometimes it’s a reckless desperate release, sex, drugs, spending or sometimes it comes out like many of those mental states come out, creatively.

Those releases can make you feel nearly euphoric. Finally! Not so anxious! Ever take ativan during a panic attack?

Anxiety can also related to grandous thinking. I’ve been so anxious I thought the world would end and it would be my fault.

Since our bodies cannot last in that state for too long, after a week or two I get depressed, I can’t take the anxiety any more. Wish I were dead and get tired. Maybe the anxiety was anxiety over getting depressed again.
