Thanks for the link. It does sound more like hypomania to me too.
I've never actually asked why my diagnosis is BP I instead of BP II, and that's mostly because the treatment for BP I and BP II is the same. But I definitely don't get psychosis.

Yeah, BP II may be more accurate. I'm not sure why the diagnosis is BP I.
Anyway, I'm not good at identifying mania/hypomania. I think that's part of the problem.
When got 3-4 hours of sleep a night, that lasted for about 1.5 weeks. I was very smiley and energetic, yet very productive at work. That's all I remember, though. (This was back in September 2015.)
I'm currently on 60mg of Latuda. I *was* on 40mg, but my psychiatrist just upped my dose on Friday because I was feeling depressed.
