I get the happy, productive hypomania. I went through one from late February through mid-April this year and enjoyed myself tremendously. I love being hypomanic...it's when it turns on me and becomes mania that things go sideways. That didn't happen this time, thankfully...my meds saved me from it, as well as the black depressions that suck the life out of me and make me want to die. (I was mildly depressed through most of the winter, but it was nothing compared with the episode that landed me in the hospital a year and a half ago.) Seasonality has a lot to do with my mood cycling.
