I almost never get hypomania or pure mania, I'm used to either depression or mixed states with psychosis. So I'm not very good at recognizing hypomania.

Lately I've been feeling a bit "high" and impulsive, whimsical. Nothing seems to bother me, and my attention is constantly drifting. I feel a tense, restless energy and have many thoughts, but I don't really have much focus for any one thing.

I think what made me question myself is that I emailed an ex-boyfriend out of nowhere recently, for no apparent reason, I'm not sure why I did it. Luckily he ignored it, since by the next day I had lost interest in talking and didn't know why I had emailed him in the first place. Secondly I've become a bit obsessed with weight loss, to the point that I'm frequently thinking about it, feel excited about it and am eating as little as possible. I tend to get obsessions when I start to tick upward.

However, I've been taking my Symbyax dutifully and have been getting about 7 hours of sleep per night. I'm able to fall asleep after about an hour or so of going to bed. So that makes me doubt I'm really hypo lately.

I'm just not sure. Right now I feel bubbly and excited, bored and restless, and day-dreamy all at the same time. I just keep pacing around. I feel like I could break out into song or something.

I hope it continues on without insomnia or anything. Do you ever get hypo symptoms without anything terrible like insomnia?
