Yes, this fits for me. My anxiety and hypomania can be hard to tell apart, which is one reason why my BP was missed for years. In retrospect, one way that I can tell them apart is that when I am truly just anxious there is lots of ruminating and going over thoughts in my mind. It is more paralyzing. When I am more hypomanic, there is more action about the anxiety--writing things, organizing things, talking too much, etc. I'd say my hypomania is 50-50 anxious vs euphoric.
