ME TOO! Right down to it being mice! hahaha.
When I'm hypomanic I do the following:
- sleep very little and don't bother trying to stay in bed
- clean a lot more obsessively
- start lots of new hobbies
- I always get new story ideas to write
- start new healthy eatin diets or exercise
- talk people's ears off
- want to spend my money (usually on things for new hobbies!)
- I either have the attention span of a gnat, or I'm absolutely obsessive about what I'm doing
- often get ideas to research something of interest and do so for hours
- want to go out and drink/party more often
- overshare information with people
- much more likely that I'll say something a bit more "blunt" when I'm out drinking if something pisses me off
- I actually feel confident about myself
- listen to music more often and more likely to have it be top-hits kind of music.
