Hypo-mania feels great. Feel creative, funny, intelligent, strong/energetic, lose weight, everything is faster- speech, thought, work ability, ect. but controlled somewhat. Usually I start shopping also.

However, if it escalates to true mania, then I'm done for.... thoughts become disorganized and confused, I'm irritable and agitated, this past episode I couldn't function and couldn't go to work, cry/anxiety attacks and possible hospitalization.
