I used to work with a brilliant women who really struggled with her manic episodes. She ended up going off her meds and on a weeklong manic state, ending with her walking straight through a plate glass window. She was window shopping and saw a coat she really liked, and she felt so powerful and was so nearly psychotic that she just walked straight through the window. Cuts all over, dozens of stitches, yet amazingly no permanent injuries. She had to spend a couple of months in inpatient care to stabilize.
