Lately I've been getting angry very easily. Something as simple as typing in incorrect log in multiple times will put in me in a rage, at times I Just want to punch the screen in front of me. I started looking shit up and eventually looked into Mania, whatever the hell that is. After reading the symptoms I sat there with a blank stare on my face.
If you have three or more of the mania symptoms below most of the day -- nearly every day -- for one week or longer, you may be having a manic episode of bipolar disorder:
Excessive happiness, hopefulness, and excitement
Sudden changes from being joyful to being irritable, angry, and hostile
Restlessness, increased energy, and less need for sleep
Rapid talk, talkativeness
Distractibility
Racing thoughts
High sex drive
Tendency to make grand and unattainable plans
Tendency to show poor judgment, such as impulsively deciding to quit a job
Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity -- unrealistic beliefs in one's ability, intelligence, and powers; may be delusional
Increased reckless behaviors (such as lavish spending sprees, impulsive sexual indiscretions, abuse of alcohol or drugs, or ill-advised business decisions)

I recently got fed up of my job cause of one little comment and decided not to show up anymore, which I am just realizing was probably a bad decision cause I really need money right now. Yet at the same time I give no fucks. But could I have Mania or are the matching symptoms just a rare coincidence?
