Honestly, now that I've been feeling stable, I do sometimes think that it was all a huge exaggeration and that I shouldn't even be on these meds. I often find it so ridiculous to take them. However..hypomania still shines through every now and then. It feels great (other than irritability), but then it wrecks my sleep even though I go to bed at regular times now, and I am reminded of how important it is to keep taking my meds or my hypomania would surely be followed by that all too familiar crippling depression.
