I read that you dont get psychosis or 'out of control,' with hypomania and this is true for me. I may act out of character and may not want to control myself and may feel that i am totally right in what i'm doing.
For instance i had the total urge to buy 7 a4 notepads, like i felt hungry for them, i needed to put them on my coffee table and look at them and own them and i thought about them for 2 days, but i managed to not do it. I dont think mania would allow that!
Now i've bought that up thought i really want to go and buy them again. I think i might lol
