They can tell you what symptoms are more obvious to them. Just a thought!
This is exactly what I do!
Sit in my room obsessing over my phone, researching mental illness like I will find the answer to it all myself. I feel like this is hypo-mixed also but I haven't met many other who say they do this?

To the OP.
I too find it really hard to tell if I'm hypo or if it's me retiring to my norm prior to the onset of most of my symptoms. I'm starting to think maybe I had a really extended hypomania (a positive one) & I got so used to that when I'm baseline now i feel bored & unfulfilled.
