If that's the criteria then maybe BP II and a really long hypomania? Can sort of hold down a job, having trouble at work (currently off on disability again) due to problems with fatigue, mood, concentration. I was semi-forcibly "retired" from firefighting because the results of my city ordered psychological evaluation scared the fire department so bad they couldn't get rid of me fast enough. Latest episode involved a lot of of elevated mood, sleeplessness, rapidly making poor decisions without considering the consequences. No legal trouble except for getting pulled over because I was too fuzzy and fatigued to drive straight. Wrecked my marriage by leaving my wife and family to get back with an old lover who eventually left me, leading to the crash. Don't know if you want to call that manic or hypomanic.
