Hi, can anyone let me know if the following feelings are typical of hypomania. At the moment I feel very frustrated and feel like I really want to do some things that I know I shouldn’t, either spending money on things I don;t really need or sexual indiscretions, my sex drive is really up at the moment. At the moment I can control everything but just feel the frustration building. I know I shouldn’t act on these feelings but am starting to get so frustrated that I am starting to think just give in to it. Its making me very irritable as well.
Also, over the last week I have become a bit obsessed with tidying the house, all day everyday, and as soon as I sit down I think of something else to tidy up.
I’ve read a lot about the types of things people do when they are hypomanic but not how they feel.
I was diagnosed with depression 3 months ago, and have anxiety and OCD as well. I have suffered for several years before this year but the depression and anxiety was manageable. My mood has been really good over the last week as have my energy levels so am a bit confused with all the varying emotions going on.
