Interesting. I posted earlier a similar post regarding when to be concerned. It is easier I think to know the signs - but do we recognise them when they are happening to us?

What I do know is that I get very gregarious when I am fully hypomanic. I become the life of the party persay. I become very talkative. I get highly energetic. The down side is I get irritable (which is the symptom I am now keeping watch for). There of course are other symptoms of hypomania but these are likely the personality changes that others might readily see.
