For me, the hypomania was draining me and made me miserable because it is rapid cycling. Up down up down was tiring. Now that I'm more centered, I'm much happier. I used to use my hypomania to my advantage like a lot of BP people will do but in my humble opinion, like any other addiction, it doesn't end well.

Knowing the truth has been a blessing for me. I still draw on the creativity that I have inside of me, but this time around, I'm not flying through the air with no way to stop.
