Why does this matter? Because one of the ways people can remain stable with bipolar disorder is to recognize early signs of either depression or mania so that you can intervene early to prevent the episode from blossoming. If a manic episode is coming, that intervention is most likely adjusting your mood stabilizer. But you don't want to do that if it's anxiety.

Here's are the symptoms that look similar with anxiety and mania.
Racing thoughts
Concentration problems
Mood irritability
Inability to sleep
Restlessness or agitation

Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness, fear or dread. It can have physical manifestations, but it starts with a feeling. Mania is state of hyperarousal, like having an internal motor where the dial has been turned up.

So in some ways, anxiety and mania can be thought of as behaving in opposite directions. Even though they share some characteristics, with anxiety the feelings converge upon you and affect you physically and with mania your physical state explodes your feelings.
