Flights of ideas (which is EXTREMELY useful in my career — I'm a freelance writer). Difficulty sleeping. Racing brain. Grandiosity, but self-conscious about it. Lots of anxious distress, getting worse and worse the longer the hypomania is going on. Lots of impulsivity... but I'm like that the rest of the time, too.
Had a long, intense hypomanic episode this summer. The hypersexuality made it pretty interesting. Had my first threesome. Had my first fivesome (which is how I met my girlfriend!). Lots of nights at a local sex club with various people. My sexlife has always been really feast-or-famine (hooking up with people while I was hypomanic... and then no sexlife at all, all winter, while I was depressive)... but it'd never been crazy like this summer!
