I hear ya. that's the way it is for me too. Every single time I get into a good mood or try something new, it's always, "be careful of getting hypo." Like it's a choice or something.

I think about things like this a lot. there are people at concerts, jumping up near the stage, going round and round in the maush pits... are they all manic too? Ha! Doubt that. So what then, we can't be like other excited people? ugh... it's always the same old story for us. No fun, cuz we get accused of being manic... or Hypomanic in my case.

Sorry to rant on your post.. but yeah, I get it.
