I love the range of emotions and wild experiences i have had during hypomania. For example, intense conversations with people where i suddenly see the connections between the connections, and i understand everything. Plus there's really great sex, that's definitely a bonus, and being fearless enough to go after some pretty big dreams and adventures. Also, i think the extreme states i've been to make me better as a mental health nurse because i am bot scared by other people's extreme states, and i have more empathy. Some of the best times in my life have been during hypomania, the problem is when it goes mixed or crosses the line from nice hypo into full blown destructive. I don't think it's possible for me to stay in that sweet spot for long, but i'm grateful that i had the chance to experience it. I like the description from
Icarus Project as bipolar being a dangerous gift. That's how it is for me.
