In high school, I believe that I was mildly hypomanic for just over a year. I got straight As, tried to start a club, placed 6th at state for a science competition, got 5s on the 5 AP tests that I took my junior year, including AP bio which I hadn't actually taken the class for, just studied on my own.

It was great, and then it ended in what was the worse depression I had ever had.

I keep chasing the sustained hypomanic productivity I had then. I think that is why I am dissatisfied with my life, even when things are going "well"-they are not going as well as they were during that period!
