Hi! It's Manic trance, with a 'C'... Ha! LOL!

What I try to do in those situations is just wait. I practice Buddhism, and there is an instruction, 'like a log remain'... It means that when you encounter emotional content that requires incredible fortitude to withstand, you aspire to simply do nothing. Not do the right thing, or worry that you've done the wrong thing, but just don't act. Additionally, if I can get my mind onto other things, that is also helpful. If I am embroiled in some kind of problematic situation while hypomanic, I am likely not making good decisions. But if I can just get away from it, not add more to it, do something that I find interesting, or something enjoyable with people I trust, without worrying about how that other situation will resolve, it is always best. At a certain point you come down, and it's like stepping out of a dream. I'm always glad I've waited.

I don't mind sharing with people that I am ADHD and currently being diagnosed for bipolar or cyclothymia, but I try to tell people that I trust who care about me. I wouldn't tell someone as a defense. If someone thinks I am sort of crazy, and there are no shortage of people who do, well, that argument is not hard to make. If that is a turn off for them, I mean, fair enough. It is hard to accept that you are too intense for most people without resenting most people, but I am working on it. But I would not share my circumstance with someone to rationalize my behavior for them so that they 'understand'. They'd have to already be down for me to share. Does that make sense?

Sending you strength!
