My last hypomanic episode was 3 years ago, and it was very much as you describe yours. I didn't recognize it as hypomania until I was diagnosed BP II 18 months ago, at which point I was able to go back and chart all the major hypomanic episodes. And like you, I had friends and family members tell me they knew something was up that summer, but no one said anything to me. As to whether I'll recognize a future episode, I really can't say. I haven't been close to hypomanic the past three years. In fact I've been battling a long, long episode of depression-- which is another story entirely.
