I don't know if what I experience is actually hypomania, (I mean when it comes to positive elevation in mood as opposed to dysphoric hypomania) or actually just me in a state free of depression & anxiety, my "stable" self. It is when I feel the most authentically me, the confidence to be proud of myself, quirks included, all the bad is put back in perspective with the good & it all makes sense again. The world is just something to be explored & I feel capable of dealing with the roadblocks I know will be in my way.
I always think my hypomanic ideas & revelations have merit, it's like something someone comes up with under the influence of substances, it's often kind of philosophical but also not logical, not a conclusion you would come to if sober but no less insightful.
