Geekinthepink- you should definitely seek help. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like the emotions you are experiencing fall within a normal spectrum. When I'm hypomanic- what helped me was playing online games that would temporarily slow my mind down- like Words with Friends, Rush Hour, bejeweled. Or- you may want to try running- pick a route that you want to try and stick to it with either running or walking. It may help get the excessive energy out of your body. Lastly, you may want to look at your diet. When I was hypomanic- I refused to eat. You definitely want to make sure you're getting enough nourishment, even if you don't feel like eating.

If you make those changes and still don't see an improvement- I'd at a minimum- set up an appointment with your general practitioner and get referrals. You could also go directly to a psych doctor- but keep in mind- you will have to make a lot of calls since many don't have an open appointment for new patients for a couple of weeks.

Feel better!
