I lost my job a little over a week ago and my mood has only improved since then, even though I'm in desperate financial straits and need to find another job STAT. I wouldn't say I'm hypomanic, maybe pre-hypomanic. (That's a term I made up to describe what everyone else in my life thinks is actually hypomania.) But then it could just be relief that I no longer have to deal with the frustration of trying to memorize and use vast amounts of information when I have the attention span of a fruit fly. I don't know......but I sure can use the extra energy and the self-confidence I've got right now.
