Does having this diagnosis make you upset?
And yes, everybody has different experiences and I don't think any two experiences are alike. I tend to swing on the depressive side, but from descriptions I've heard on here I guess mixed episodes as well. To be honest, past hypomanic episodes I don't remember until the ones I've had recently now that I know what they are. But once I got the diagnosis to my face and was told why, I just read as much as I could about it and the pieces started to fit. I eventually accepted it and now I can focus on managing my symptoms. Good luck to you!
