As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm still trying to figure out the phases of time that I used to refer to as 'not depressed' just to see if what I'm dealing with is depression or more cyclothymic. I was hoping some people here could compile a list of some ways they behave when hypomanic. I'm making a list of ways I feel when I feel more 'up' than usual.
It includes:
-Telling people personal information about myself for no reason
-Increased motivation to do TONS of stuff at once; sometimes I get so caught up in trying to do things that I can't do any of them
-Increased levels of happiness; lots of laughing, even about things I would normally consider serious
-Lack of filter on what I say
-Increased want to socialize
-Decreased tiredness
That's my list so far, since I haven't been working with it for long. I was wondering what else people could add. This can be personal stories or lists or whatever.
Thanks,
