So I've been off my meds for a few weeks, and have been having alomost all the symptoms of mania, except for one thing, I get a few hours a day when I feel completely normal. Usually in the early mornings. But as the day progresses I get more talkative, loud, grandiose, my mind starts racing, I can't sit still, can't concentrate, I get distracted, anxious and irritable. I end up pacing, listening to loud music, never finishing a song. I've done some pretty stupid things in the last few days, having sex, buying stuff I can't afford etc.

I have this niggling doubt as to whether I'm manic or hypomanic though. Maybe this is just who I am? My pdoc questioned my diagnosis recently because she hasn't seen me manic (I've only been with her for a few months), so I have that floating around in my thoughts.

Anyway, I just want to know, does anyone get normal hours when manic?
