For bipolar 1 folks....is there a point where you notice you've gone from hypomania to full-blown mania? Any signs or behaviors you pick up on?

For me, I can usually tell when I'm hypomanic and it's manageable (for me).

Fully-blown mania....I've had five major episodes in my life, often lasting several months. On a surface level, I think I realize my mood is heightening past hypomania...but I lose insight and judgment, big time.

What are your experiences like. Fully blown mania is bad news for me but I'm on top of the world for awhile and then it's no bueno and I'm clueless.
