What do you guys think was the intention with this? I recently had an episode of mania, and was behaving a bit oddly, but I confirmed with my mother (this was her condo I'm renting it) that it wasn't here when she left and I've never seen it before :|

Thought so, I had just been out of town for that solar eclipse in Texas. Pretty wonky experience during totality, felt like the eye of God was looking at me and telepathy-ing me. I went to the EDM festival with a friend of mine that has been a pysche ward nurse in the past and she didn't say anything til I was home for a day. Good chance I didn't notice it until I was doing mania stuff and went "wat this rock".

Perhaps your subconscious has noticed other signs of potential trouble from whoever left the rock, leading to hyper vigilance as a defense measure, which has a lot of overlap with mania.

Your manic episode could have been triggered by the adrenaline and norepinephrine release of the hypervigilant state.
