My hypomania can vary from euphoric to dysphoric. When euphoric I feel invincible, like a superhero. This turns me into a race car driver, rock star and super intuitive person in general, amongst other things. Or so I believe. My thoughts race and while I do a lot I am not very productive with most things as I jump from task to task. I sleep less but don't feel tired. I feel like a god and organise everything in my life. My thoughts can become grandiose. I am also often very irritable and inpatient.
Dysphoric mania is hell on earth. The euphoria is gone and I am very low and dark. Irritability and agitation are high and my racing thoughts spiral downwards into darkness. This is a mixed state. Hope that helps.
