MD07, your description of your hypo/mania fits me to a "T" as well. I have both euphoric and dysphoric types. I love the euphoric times when I have NO limits and I can go and do and work and shop and play! But then I have the episodes (like now) when I'm merely irritable, agitated, jittery, anxious, and I walk around trying to find a place for myself because I don't quite know what to do.
