All the meds I'm on now,-I manage a family, work 2jobs. Having depression/anxiety now from recent events but if I had not already been on meds wuld have been much worse.***of course I am not an md but def get evaluated. Many people with hypomania get irritable, have troublesleeping have anxiiety only seem slightly hyper, can have fast high pressure speech.good luck
I'm glad you have found success now

I have an appointment with a pdoc next week, though I can't be very frank with her because we also cross paths in our professional lives, so I am not comfortable. But am trying to book another appointment with a different pdoc where I can lay all my troubles out bluntly.
