It really depends on the episode and how deep it is. When I'm hypomanic I find it only intensifies my true feelings. I agree with Blackpup that when experiencing depression I don't love anyone including myself. It really sucks the life out of a person.
The book in my signature is written for spouses, partners etc. It's excellent.
