Funny, how I posted earlier about hypo/mania, and then this afternoon my pdoc and I got into the subject because he's concerned that I'm going to go high now that it's summer (like that's ever happened before, LOL). He knows I love the highs a little too much, and is insisting I call him the minute I even feel a teensy bit manic.

I was also surprised to learn that he doesn't think my highs are hypomania at all, or if they start out that way, they progress to full-on mania very quickly. IOW, what I thought was hypomania is actually more serious than that. And he's right, I don't call until I literally can't stand myself another day, so I obviously don't yet have a good grasp of what I'm experiencing during a period of elated or irritable mood.

Now in retrospect, I think he might have seen something in me today that I don't see, or he wouldn't have been quite so insistent on making me swear I would call him if I felt myself ramping up. I've felt really good for several weeks now, but not hypo---just healthy. But seeing as how I apparently don't know when I cross over from hypomanic to manic........oh well, hell, I'm not gonna sit here and over-think a joyful state of well-being and the fact that life is finally going pretty well for me. I'm just going to enjoy it!
