Guilt is such a corrosive emotion. I've messed up while hypomanic more times than I can count-- bipolar eventually brought me to rock bottom-- homeless, friendless, and jobless. Getting out of that hole took some serious doing. And it was during that time that I came to realize that my guilt was completely counterproductive, as well as misplaced. I began to concentrate on getting better, so I wouldn't make awful mistakes while hypomanic, rather than beat myself up for things I had done in the past when I was really not in control of myself. Sending you good energy.
