What is the difference between giftedness and mania?

After good therapy I finally believe in myself and got diagnosed with giftedness. Now I just do a lot of things in the day which bring me joy learning languages politics drawing and especially social interactions but my doctor now says I have mania, I did online tests for mania and I am always negative… I also chill a lot and read poetry or just really listen to music and feel it. Opinions? I was kinda depressed beforehand and one of the main features of it was that I believed I was stupid. I sleep 6-8 hours per day and sometimes only 4 on bad days but then I lay around in bed in the afternoon and nap.

Hey there

Hello there it’s fucking terrible to be gifted and undiagnosed I had an iq of 116 bc dyslexic and unmotivated as a child and I always felt constrained. Now after sucide attempts bc they gave me benzos in the prev hospital for 2 months everydayI finally was diagnosed with giftedness but that’s with ptsd is traumatic. I am not fine now they think I have bipolar but I had to say it somewhere where I don’t sound terrible narcissistic.
