> How can you differentiate [mania] or genuine appreciation?
If you've done any 5-HT2A drug you'll know the distinct feeling I'm referring to. The telltale sign is that it's always the combo: "everything is really important/meaningful" + bad working memory.
If your working memory is solid and you can actually process long complex thought without reducing it to vibes or simple aphorisms then you're probably not manic. Also important to understand hypomanic != manic != full manic psychosis, they are very different levels of severity. Anything manic or above is very obvious, people around you will be able to tell something is up within 30sec.

- sleep
- try keto / limiting sugar, hit or miss but works for some
- holding breath / breathwork (I wouldn't hyperventilate though)
- do things that you'd do to recover if you had a hangover / had just ran a marathon (it's essentially what your brain is doing)
(again I'm not a doctor, fact-check everything yourself)
