For me hypomania can feel great, but I tend to do things that have terrible consequences when I'm like that because I don't think clearly, and I take risks and do anything that feels good. I am still dealing with some really bad repercussions from my last hypomania, and it was a long time ago. Plus for me, there is usually at least some element of mixed and/or high anxiety. So even though I feel elated, there is always an evil feeling lying just beneath the surface. My most self destructive moments have been during hypomania turned mixed... really poor judgement. But I do miss it. I miss the euphoria and the feeling that anything is possible. I hope to feel that again someday, but right now it's killed by meds. I wish there was a way to feel it without all the drawbacks.
