I'm glad you're feeling a little better.

My hypomanic episodes typically last a long time, meaning several months or a couple of years. I'm type 1 and it gets a bit blurry for me - I've switched into fully blown mania on a handful of occasions, unfortunately.

I have never had a period of remission, so I don't know if this has helped you or not. I do remember what "normal happy" felt like...I haven't had it in a long time.

I relate to the irritability--sometimes I feel impatient with others as they seem (to me) to be thinking SO slowly.

I hope you continue to feel better, hang in there. xo
