I am schizo-affective type Bipolar I. I love hypomania...it is a good high, not too high and definitely not low. I am so productive and social and content with life. But once it escalates to manic, it is most unpleasant...partly because it inevitably leads to psychosis for me. Usually people only require hospitalization for either severe depression or severe mania or psychosis. So for those of you who have been hospitalized for "hypomania", I would consider taking a closer look at your diagnosis! Of course, it is possible for hypomania to be unpleasant. But most of the time...hypomania feels terrific.
