This is me. My hypomania isn't that noticeable, I just seem really annoying. The depressions (and mixed episodes) are a different story though; it's like every day I'm fighting with myself. And yeah... anti-depressants also made my hypomania longer and more intense and is also the reason why I eventually got the bipolar diagnosis.

Thanks for sharing Panda; I always like reading people's experience that mirror my own
