My hypos start out nice and I have all kinds of energy that I want to spend changing a career or opening a business or becoming recognized for something amazing, however, I quickly change to a mixed state with psychotic features such as paranoia. Then I crash to depression with paranoia and images and urges to hurt myself. I cycle so fast that most people don't even see my hypomania. I usually question myself when I am shopping or thinking big and I figure if I have to ask that I am hypo. I haven't figured out how to stop the psychosis and depression that comes after.

By the way, there is nothing wrong with thinking big. In my case I am left with many unfinished projects that I end up wanting to work on again the next time I am hypo. Therefore I have been wanting to get published and open another yoga studio for years.
