I have to admit, I agree with you in that I often think that hypomania is a good place to be and I often think there's somewhat of a conspiracy concerning psychiatry and big pharma. But I also agree with the person who said people don't go to the doctor if they are feeling well. Something bad is going on for a person to go to a mental health professional and I don't think a psychiatrist would intentionally mistreat a patient, especially someone with bipolar disorder given the horrible things that can happen (suicide, crime, etc.) when someone is not medically treated properly.

After years of trying many doctors, I can say right now I am lucky enough to have the best psychiatrist and the best therapist ever. My therapist said it best when she said that feeling hypomanic is like dropping a penny into a funnel. it starts spinning, it's cool, you have energy, you're productive... but then it spins faster and faster. Before you know it, it's spinning really fast and it's to a point where you can't stop it and, bam, then you've gone from hypomanic into a more manic phase and didn't even know it. Then (this is just my personal experience, btw) I have to take time off work to see doctors, I start isolating myself at home out of fear of what I might do (party, sex, etc, etc.) Then, anything productive I accomplished while hypomanic is undone when I finally get past the hypomania.

Just put your own good mental health first, above any pressure to be productive or more social or whatever.
