Hypomania looks different in different people. For me I'm hypomanic when I start waking up earlier and working every second I'm awake. I come up with and take on projects I can't handle, particularly extra homework. My self-confidence is unshakable. I talk super fast (so much so that others comment). I can't relax at all. I start going out to bars and drinking a lot. I need pleasure at any cost (and the bars I go to aren't cheap).
