This usually lasts a few weeks.


The hypomania I can't function nicely on is the aggravated dysphoric kind, but that very rarely happens, usually only when the cycle is lasting longer than usual... Thank God
Yeah I wasn't sure what exactly to say, and didn't want to come across in a melodramatic doom and gloom sort of way. So I concluded it with saying that if it doesn't cause them problems and gives them breaks enough then maybe no big deal. But I also added that if the intrusive, racing thoughts start to have darker themes then they should make sure to take it seriously. I told them I get dysphoric mania and that that's what I meant. I didn't elaborate anymore after that, though. I figure if they feel ready to research it then they will. I just tried to give them some jargon to pop into search engines.
