It is important to note that there are levels of manic and the things you talk about are not necessarily indicative of a manic episode.

From a few people I've known with the disorder, I've seen everything from enhanced energy/creativity/sexuality to full blown "I'm a prophet" manic psychosis.

If accurate, I would presume the crash led to quite a bit of rumination on the subject. One of the main issues with those who have bipolar disorder is them spending an inordinate amount of time trying to catch the high of manic episodes. It is one of the reasons they stop treatment and relapse so often. They can't let it go.
