Ha Iz, yup it doesn't really matter but it's bugging me now. You think you can relate to something too, but does it relate? Not that you can ever really know that anyways forsure. When I actually look at it more it seems like I was probably juat manic from the start, when you are hearing commentary ..that might be further manic than hypo. But that is my starting point, maybe I just wanted to have hypo too. But it made sense to have that as a starting block.

Buy more just my measuring stick for myself. That first stage is ok, after that not ok..danger zone. I could not think of anytimes it stayed at the first stage and didn't continue on to the second and third stage.

When people here refer the crash of depression after mania or hypo all I can relate with is the further spiral to dysphoric mania, that would be my crash. And then back to baseline eventually. Also makes me wonder if that is not hypo, do I get hypo? Maybe I don't. Maybe I do and dont see it.

And yes It bugs me if I am using the wrong the term, it took me forever to find the right term for my agitation, I dunno makes me think of washing machines. Kinda felt like I was in one but didn't come to mind that that was what I was feeling. So stuck to the statement " I feel like I need to go blow up a walmart " as an alternative and you can see how that might be taken. Probably not as restless energy.
