Hypomania sucks. It's like my emotions are off the rails and my filter is gone. Then after social interactions I get anxiety about potentially compromising myself. I am an extrovert so I already get restless when I am alone. The amount of energy I have is uncomfortable sometimes.
For me, the hypomania is mostly in my mind. It races at a 1000 mph, ricochets from one thing to another, gets obsessive. And easily distracted as I bounce from one thought to another.
Ooh hypomania is pretty amazing. I feel like im high with the best drug in the world. Though mine last from afternoon to nighttime. Its pretty tiring shutting down from it. New morning presents headache from intermittent sleep. I wanna live in the real world despite of this It brings out one of the loveliest person in the world
After a long marriage I ended up depressed and had insomnia. That affected my cognition. I was desperate for sleep but lived with an abuser. I would have loved mania because I am an artist. So I was diagnosed bipolar without knowing; because I was quite Rolf it was surprising. No one ever told me but they handed me all these meds, most of which made me sick. I have had 6 psychiatrists since and not one has reviewed my records, or talked with me. Maybe you can be bipolar your whole life and not know because you’re always depressed? I had good reasons to be depressed and my new psychiatrist thinks I have PTSD. It’s pretty normal for me not to fit in a box.
Doing things quicker than you have time to process is scary as hell. And feeling like you are not in control while trying to enjoy anything at all is like you're riding shotgun to a stranger who apparently hijacked your body and decided to take a joyride. Always fearful of the inevitable crash.
Holy fuck yes. I'm on the roller coaster right now, never have I felt this good, then THIS BAD before. I thought I knew mania, the last two days were fucking crazy, I was unrecognizable. Everyone noticed, most loved me for it.
I mostly get depressed infact most of my life I've been depressed to some extent but the really severe depression is accompanied by severe anxiety ( I will have both at same time if the anxiety reduces the depression increases and vice versa) I also have bouts of hypomania but these last for months not days like described in bipolar 2. I'm so confused as to what my condition is it just doesn't fit into any disorder definition, I have traits of many disorders.
Thank you-very good information and so clearly presented, too. Much appreciated.

Many hypomanic symptoms mirror ADHD baseline. Any tips for deciding the difference between elevated ADHD symptoms vs hypomania?
Great question! Did anyone respond to you on this?
You think so? 🤔 I don’t know if that’s true..
Hypomania is blessing for me…but a curse for everyone else…lmaooooo
Lmaoo yes 🤣🤣 Especially when I can’t sleep. I become a nightmare.
İ dont know but i could have bipolar
Holy fuck yes. I'm on the roller coaster right now, never have I felt this good, then THIS BAD before. I thought I knew mania, the last two days were fucking crazy, I was unrecognizable. Everyone noticed, most loved me for it.
@@unfortunatocan you explain in more detail? 🙏
If you experience Mania you must medicate🙏for everyone’s sake. Others around you will eventually leave.
