Candi - the problem with mania is that its too glorious. Once uv experienced that state of being it is kind of hard to live without it.
Even if ur not depressed at all ull still always fall way short of how u felt when ur manic. U need to accept that.
I am pretty much where u are , not super low but not really enthusiastic either. So things like a new car or a new phone etc wont really make u feel awesome. U need to find a hobby or a sport or anything that gives u some sort of pleasure. That can distract you.
Also u can try antidepressants , but for bipolars u cant just take ads u will need to take a mood stabaliser too . Personally i dont want to be on couple of mind altering and addicting drugs for the rest of my life.
Distract urself for the majority of the time and have a blast when u have your hypos , thats the goal for me.
