I've been thinking about this a little recently. I've recently been diagnosed having Bipolar type 2 as I have history of both observed depressive and hypomanic episodes.

One of the occasions I barely avoided being sectioned under the mental health act after a two week episode which resulted in me doing some really, really stupid things. I started fights, I didn't sleep a single minute in 4 days straight and finally I spent so much money on **** I didn't even want. I genuinely feel that at the time, I was losing grip on my reality.

It took 4 days on Zyprexa, Diazepam and God knows what else to bring me down from the clouds. Under threat of arrest, I had to attend my appointments every day for a week.

Is this typical hypomanic behaviour?
