i've got bpd with hypomania tho stabilized for the most part. symptoms for hypomania for me include extremely agitated, irritable, quick to anger, loss of sleep, trouble concentrating. i don't suffer from mania, just hypomania. i did have the tendency to suffer severe depression however with my bpd. add to that the periods of hypomania which i hated as much as the depression. i see it as the worst of bpd cause i never got to be manic in the true sense of the word. some ppl tell me they won't take their meds for bpd cause they'd miss the mania. i for one am glad to not have to be so depressed or so hypomanic anymore.
hope this helps.
