Presumably because mania is a key part of the cult, and many portrayals in media use the behavioural signs of mania to convey evil.
Although I'm sure plenty of people might look a little manic if they were pictured while handed a lot of money with a big debacle made out of it.
I wonder what it would feel like to be manic
Bipolar here, amazing at first, overwhelming after a while
Right from a reliable source, thank you my friend
No problem, its actually chemically similar to MDMA, which is euphoric and beautiful, the colours are brighter, the food tastes better, music sounds amazing, you feel no need to sleep, but obviously after 4-5 days of that it gets to be unnerving, you can begin to get irritable and begin making poor choices. Its honestly sometimes the best and worst times of my life.
Fun anecdote I once was manic I became so confused that I convinced myself LSD would cure depression and wound up taking close to 2000 tabs over the course of 4 months. Just wild

It did not help, I wound up spiraling and flipping between large amounts of LSD and large amounts of benzos. Ended in a suicide attempt.
Lasting affects are I really have a great sense of how my thoughts work. I've been sober for almost 7 years now and stable for a good 6. No real negative mental or physical affects other than the mess I made of my life. I'm an addict so I know I won't be able to try to use these things even in a controlled setting.
Hell yeah. Great work with yours too, one day at a time
