I don't think I've ever been actually manic, although a couple of times when on the wrong meds, I've had some psychotic moments. I usually get hypomanic a few times a year, and it normally lasts about a week. It's like the best feeling ever, until I get sick of feeling so good. But it's amazing how much stuff I can get done! I've actually been waiting for the mood to strike, because I love cleaning when I'm hypomanic.
What I'm confused about, is why it's "dangerous"? I can see being completely manic, or psychotic. But for me, I'm much more a danger to myself when I'm depressed. If I'm feeling great, I don't want to mess with that!
Just wondered if I'm missing something, because I see a lot on here about it being dangerous.
thx
