Fortunately, i am baseline often as you are it seems too. Those who frequent hypo-mania, ah, sounds fun, if not destructive. I have yet to experience a destructive high period since its only hypo, but some could argue i've hit mania. I also am not longer on soroquel so i have no stabilizer, which i like. I'm naturally dysthymic so id rather experience the feels both good and bad

For me I had stability (well sort of, I was happy overall but only as stable as you can be whilst abusing drugs) then a slow building depression that switched into a mixed or dysphoric hypomania on antidepressants. But I spend most of my time mixed I think, on differing levels of severity, interspersed with very short lived euphoric hypomanias (usually only a day or so, up to 5 days), which then switch into depression again then back to agitated. It's all fun & games. I don't know that this is a typical course, it seems odd to me & doesn't follow a strict pattern, sometimes with mood swings or cycling within a mood episode. I don't know maybe this happens in mixed states, I seem to have a fairly unstable mood throughout the day aswell.
How good would it be to have euphoric hypomania all the time!
