You, me, and probably 99% of all bipolar people in the world. If we could just be hypomanic all the time, we wouldn't even HAVE an illness.....we'd just be super energized happy people!

Only.....there's euphoric AND dysphoric hypomania, and dysphoric sucks big time. (I'm in one of those phases, only my pdoc's calling it mania rather than hypomania.) So be careful what you wish for---you may get it, and you may not want it!
