I found that when i was manic, i felt really confident and i guess you could say happy. I didnt have feelingss of anxiety tho, but i think that can be a sympton. You just feel like you're on this high and you forget all your problems and you have so much self confidence and you think you can do anything. But then you get the not so good symptons where you cant sleep and your head is overflowing with thoughts and you have all these crazy ideas. I look back on my experience and get embarrased sometimes about what i used to go on about.

I was also diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder when i was depressed about 5-6 months before having my first manic episode. I think my dr just diagnosed me that because she didnt know what was wrong with me. I have always suffered from anxiety tho, all my life really.

If you were thinking that you were experiencing mania, i woudn't worry because i dont think you are. I think your just suffering from your anxiety disorder like you said you have.

If you are still worried theres a thread on here by the mods about the symptons of mania if you want to check that out.

I hope this helped.

Take care.
