Also, mine is definitely affected by the seasons. I get high in the approaching spring and during the summer, and depressed when it starts to get colder.

That seems a lot to deal with for one person, eh? Everyone here wants to hear the similar story, the assurance, knowing very well that everything personal is personal, case by case, etc... A lot of other factors affects that for the search of similar cases.
With what you just described here in mind, I'd say you have a very busy life, and yet, the beautiful life, a meaningful life, are still out there for us to grasp.
Btw, I'm not seeing only the upside of hypomania, but this hightened over sensitivity sometimes get in the way of every day life. idk, it's been a while since I've read the list of symptoms of hypomania, and I'm not remembering everything, quite frankly, the checklist that our doctors have to use to assess, they are inadequate, even calling some MI a mood disorder seems just not enough.
This is just my personal view and you may or you may disagree. I'm just saying that probably, the other difficulties or the questions that I haven't mentioned here, can be answered/given more thoughts and the gathered intelligence of our mind will be helpful to the others.
(I don't know why I'm talking this way and not sure what I just said. Mania gets more attention, is it not? We have lots of bp2 and they have thier own difficulties. I know they ask questions too, but one of the question might be like 'Is this normal?' as in normal in non-MI population? 'Is it just a personality of mine?')
(No one can answer that, I should think less like that. Thanks for the reply post.
