The closest thing I could make some people relate to was that it was like being on LSD, just that it comes in waves. I also happen to have experimented with lots of psychedelics in the prior years and I’m not gonna deny that this may have intensified the symptoms. Mania felt like an acid flashback. All this sudden energy and creativity, but also the scatteredness (not sure this is a word). It was too much to handle. At the time I was programming up to 10h per day. I could not remember names of people I met the day before, also I had blackouts. My brain was not able to process. With your experiment I would have failed miserably because sitting still for an hour was not manageable.
