Honestly, you'd probably see the signs better from the outside. I'm good at interoception, but that's one of the things that starts to evaporate when I go mental.
The loops of thought are probably another symptom, though that's also me when I'm sane.
Persecutory delusions, obviously, insomnia, grandiose delusions... I don't feel like a laundry list is helpful... fatigue if the crisis is depressive, heightened sexuality, mood swings.
Most of these things are generally present to a low level when I'm well, so I tend to think my crises amplify the latent madness. Hypergraphia...
