I know what you mean. I am having this feeling today. Hypomania is scary because I love it. It has led me to bad places, and definately switched into full mania and mixed mania on the wrong drugs and I've done things I'm to this day confused and ashamed about.I have had big problems with inappropriate sexualised behaviour also

It's awful because I love the feeling at first.I'll even drink coffee/caffeinated drinks to 'up' it more and more. I can literally feel it increasing in intensity.
the feeling is kind of like having sex but that is possibly the weirdest thing to say, but that's what I liken it to.

I can feel myself getting signs of getting more like that atm- pressured speech, no need for food and sleep, desire for coffee, suddenly getting more confident. it scares me these days. It would never get as bad as it did in the past because I was on ssris, the worst meds for shooting people into mania, so I'm not scared of doing some of the stuff I once did, but there is still that perpetual fear, whilst enjoying the feeling. i will never be able to do as much damage to my reputation as I did on the wrong meds, but i'm aware I'm just generally more inappropriate and driven in weird ways when I'm like this, and i don't want to give off that vibe or get given an opportunity to **** up or do something ****ed up.

I don't think a mood stabiliser can cause this.they stop it going to a bad place.Love the thread title because that's what it always is- a surprise! :-)

I've never don anything too shocking in my rather hard to shock opnion whilst just hypomanic.I kind of got shocking/wtf with it when I went manic, but I'm not really sure where the line is drawn between hypomania and mania.

I even can see the way I post differently on here in terms of the way I write sentences when i feel like this, and the words I use.It is a weird phenomenon for sure
