I also have more depression than hypomania. Unfortunately. *sigh* For me, depression is self hatred, the absence of hope, hypersomnia, and the horrible sensation in my chest that feels like my soul is rotting inside of me. Depression makes me believe that the world is against me, that nothing good will come to or of me, and that I would be better off dead. Hypomania is yeehaw time, where everything is colorful and wonderful and beautiful and perfect!!!! But most of all, I'm all of that!!!! It's a nice break from my usual low self-esteem, though I do get a bit grandiose. Sprinkle in a few minor hallucinations and some interesting delusions and you've got my version of bipolar II.
