How do you know the difference between lots of energy and going manic?

Pretty easy, really. If you think you're manic, then you're not. Mania is far more than lots of energy. Think pressured speech, racing thoughts, irritability, easily distracted, starting new projects then losing interest in them, excessive and uncontrollable spending, risk taking, hypersexuality, disturbed thinking, delusions, hallucinations, hospitalisation.
Once you start to escalate into hypomania and then mania, you lose all objectivity.

Ask your husband. My wife was and is now gone, she would never listen and refused to take medication as she keep convincing herself she was allegeric and thought the side effects were too hard to deal with. All she left behind were children who could never understand and a husband whose love for her she destroyed. If you think you are; get checked out by your doctor and take whatever medication he prescribes, the side effect of being bi-polar is death.
The difference between having lots of energy and being manic is the valleys in between,

One thing is not the energy, it's highs and lows, racing thoughts, can get as bad as unnatural (for you) sexual behavior, dress etc. My concervative wife, mid 80's, got a mohawk. When in doubt see a Dr. With meds is a easy thing to keep under control.
