I was as high as a kite and I didn't even know it. As I come out of the fog of depression, I'm able to look back and see how crazy my behavior was over the summer. This is the first time I can actually look back and see how I was actually hypomanic. I spent more money than was necessary. I actually had plans for that money. I was going to pay this that and the other. Instead it went to random crap. The weird thing is I have a box of these bright blue sneakers sitting in a box, still in bag over in the corner. I pierced my ears (second hole)! Why?? I almost dyed my hair blue, but because I checked my email and saw I had the job interview, I declined. I slept with someone I really shouldn't have. And despite me turning him down for years, in this state I decide it's finally time. I enrolled in a masters degree program that I don't even know what to do with. As fun as it was to have all that energy, it all came crashing down. The crying spells were so random and exhausting. Of course I felt hopeless, useless, and worthless. No energy. I went for days without a shower. Loss of interest, social isolation, etc. It was the darkest I've been in years. And not necessarily about anything. Sure there were things happening that didn't help, but I didn't ruminate over them.
The crazy thing is that after I'm able to look back and talk about it with certain friends and family members, they tell me that I indeed was more energetic and hyper than usual. I wish I saw it and knew what I know now. What a crazy experience.

Just wanted to share and also know if any of you had any similar experiences? This is a first for me that I can actually say "yes that is indeed hypomania" instead of putting pieces together of random events and calling it hypomania.
