I've had the same thing since I finished ECT - the "am I happy or am I hypomanic" debate. And I've come to the conclusion that as long as I'm not getting myself in trouble, it doesn't matter either way. I'm tired of labeling every single mood change. Even if it is "hypomania" so what? Nothing bad is happening. The only thing concerning that you posted is that you spent all your money. That's no good. I did the same thing on Friday when I was super happy. But at the same time if that's as bad as it gets then who cares if it's happy or hypo?

I know that hypo can lead to mania and all that so its good to be aware of your mood states but I'm just tired of feeling guilty for being happy.

I think I got off track and started talking too much about myself...my point is just enjoy the happiness and don't worry about what it is unless you start experiencing symptoms or behaviors that get in the way of your life.
