'Manic' bothers me because I do not mean anything even remotely comparable to 'wild' or 'chaotic'. Though that might be just my other languages influencing my English?🤔

I am also having second and third thoughts about 'irrational'. It implies (too much?) objectivity and clarity of judgment in the speaker.
