I'm bipolar II but my hypomania has led to massive spending sprees, giving away money to friends, going on spontaneous vacations, and going clubbing for days on end in Vegas. I also stay up for days on end, with endless energy.

There have been positive benefits though. I can stay really focused when hypomanic, so I can actually be really productive. The only problem is that I can't control when I have episodes; stress and other events don't really trigger my mood swings. When I have depressive episodes, I have almost no energy and can barely bring myself to leave the house.
