I questioned my DX (which I need to change in my sig) for awhile because they insist I have BPII rather than MDD as previously thought, but my hypomania isn't your typical happy happy. I assumed they were wrong, until I discovered it's pretty common for mania and hypomania to not be that happy happy euphoria on top of the world feeling. It's not the one-sided "up" like I thought. I suppose there are layers. Maybe that spectrum idea isn't so far-fetched.
