I wonder about the line between hypo and full blown fir me too. My diagnosis is BP 2, but i've had some pretty extreme hypomanic episodes which were very destructive to my life, so i wonder if they were actually manic episodes. I have also been accused of being on drugs when in that state. You described it well userhername, i am like that too. I don't get psychosis, but i get most of the other symptoms of mania, and i have cheated in my marriage, gotten myself in serious trouble at work, and done a bunch of dangerous things. I was hospitalized with a mixed state, but never with a purely elevated mood. So mildly manic or extremely hypomanic, i don't really know. I just know i do damage in that state.
