I can tell when I am getting manic. My hypomania ramps up. My senses are really acute. Sounds, smells, tastes, sights feelings. I do not hallucinate per se, but things become very heightened like I am on a small dose of mushrooms. It is just short of psychotic.

I feel self-confident, sexual, energetic, smart, and creative. I have every single sign of mania actually. Spending, sexual energy, impulsivity, etc.
