I am BPII and have never experienced true mania. My hypo shows itself in different ways. Mainly it is irritation, rage, and a constant buzzing/crawling out of my skin feeling. It has also been good at times, like when I painted an re-did my whole main level in a few weeks time. It has also been bad like when I have had times I drink too much (not in past few years thankfully), or flirt too much with people who aren't my husband, or get my whole back tattooed.

Medication really helps with the anger, but it flattens me too much sometimes. I tend toward the depressive side of things anyway.
