sui generis, I am the same. I just wrote my first post (waiting for a moderator to approve it) looking to see if other people deal with irritability/anger during hypomania, and it has really helped realising that I'm not the only one! I have the good-feeling hypomania, but moreso irritable/angry, which I think would be another answer to this question - when I'm irritable/angry, I can do some craaazy things..... I used to experience the decreased sleep, but now I'm chronically tired all the time too, haha.
