Badly. I get irritable and anger, have issues with road rage. My thoughts race, my speech races, I get obsessive about things and paranoid. I don't sleep. I have lots of great ideas but my attention span is about 30 seconds. So I try and do everything at once - watch tv, look at a magazine, read. I'll do things like try and read all the books by a certain author one right after another. I get oversexed.

And sometimes instead of just plain hypomania I get more of a mixed state.

I don't have the highly creative productive hypomanias. Sometimes I get highly creative but I don't have the attention span or patience for the follow through.
