Can someone tell me the difference in simple terms? I mean they seem that they can be the same in some cases? It is not simple to decipher?

Does manic = productive, lack of sleep, happy?

Does depressed = curled up in a ball, sleeping 15 hours or so, not doing anything?

Manic could mean that your extreamly happy or it could mean that you get angry easily... i get angry when i am manic and litteraly have ALOT of screaming going on. I have been known to break stuff also in my manic states...

Depression for me is when i just don't want to do anything. I usually try to find an escape route (like hiding online in a game for HOURS. Its a feeling of worthlessness and uselessness and getting the "why am i even here" thoughts.
