What it's like for someone with subtler, milder hypomania: Colors seem brighter. Music sounds better than usual. Thoughts are sped up, and occasionally racing. Euphoria takes over my body, fills me with a buzzing electricity. I feel so high; I doubt that most people could achieve that kind of a sense of well-being without drugs. I have a lot of plans for myself and for the world. I fantasize about moving across the globe, though I do not actually do it! I'm slightly more talkative than normal, and I'm likely to propose wild ideas. I feel like I can do anything.
