Cocobean,
Thanks, that does make sense! I often wonder if, because I've also been diagnosed with generalized anxiety, chronic fatigue, and PTSD that when I have hypomania it just wouldn't be as obvious. I really didn't believe my doctor until I read up some more on it. Thankfully this message board seems very helpful, even if everyone's symptoms aren't all the same. When I've gone to a few other anxiety or PTSD boards, they're just not as active and helpful to me. I'm very glad I found this board the other day.

I do have a problem with, after going somewhere new or spending time with new friends, not being able to fall asleep because my mind is just working too fast. Then I usually need more sleep a day or two later.
