Hypomania gives me energy without reducing my sleep too much, and it stays positive throughout the experience, though I am quick at being ticked off/angry at someone. I get the urge to go out, eat and drink sweets, and I will buy things for others and myself. Basically, the euphoria is amazing.

Full blown Mania means (for me) zero sleep, zero concentration, constantly on panic mode, extreme anger/rage in quick bursts, and I will randomly sob (and laugh) without any sadness involved, but because of indescribable pain instead. I will even rock back and forth while rambling 100 mph, pull at my hair and sometimes hit myself.
