Oh boy do I hear you, OP. I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself lately because I miss my hypomania so much. I don't miss mania itself---that's when I get angry and irritable and I lose the filter between my brain and my mouth. But the hypomania is great....every day is the BEST DAY EVER and I love EVERYBODY and holy crap, look at all the COLORS!!!!

But, I have to content myself with being stable, because that's the best thing for me (and everyone else around me). I take my meds and stick with my sleep schedule, and for the most part I do well. Still miss the excitement and the feeling of being 10 feet tall and bulletproof though.
