Yeah...I mean, I *might* be hypomanic. In the past when I've been hypomanic, I'm extremely content with life and optimistic and motivated. I'm super productive and extremely social. I get all these ideas for new projects. I get a little impulsive as well...like last week I shoplifted a couple of times. I don't normally do that. In the past, my impulsiveness looks like promiscuity and increased spending. I also tend to think I look more attractive than I probably am...very inflated self-esteem. When it's full-blown mania, it's still pretty euphoric but I'm extremely restless, dancing around, pacing and fidgeting and talking a mile a minute. Sometimes my anxiety gets out of hand. My senses are extremely heightened...I feel like I can HEAR everything, and everything looks so bright and sharp and crisp. I've also been told that I act like an 8 year old child. I don't know about that one lol.
All I can think is maybe a "normal" for anyone is that I wouldn't be happy ALL the time. Like maybe my mood would fluctuate throughout the day. And I'm pretty sure normal people (if there is such a thing) would have bad days mixed in with the good days. For me right now, every day is a really good day.
