well there is a quick jump between hypomania and mania. I think technically it is a greater than 1 week worth of hypomania gets the label as an manic episode. Hypo mania symptoms can be different for every one...you have to learn what your triggers are.
I can obsess over things and get myself all worked up, like right now, I have a terrible case of a staph infection on my face, I am obsessed with it. Driving me crazy...I have to step back and realize that this is temporary and it will get better. It hurts, itches, stings, I am a mess. this is only day 3 of 10 days of antibiotics 4 times a day, I wear a bandage on my face to hide/protect it but it only covers half of the wounds which are on my nose and left cheek. How am I going to work tomorrow????

The first time I was taken away in hand cuffs to the psych ward for being delusional, I was having an intense religious experience...took me along time to realize that I was just psychotic....
