I remembered another con or two with hypomania on the way home. I have hyperacusis and it flares with hypomania. I have an AC in the car that uses a thermostat and I like to let it do its thing; when it's hot that's full blast with the fan. White noise doesn't bother me when it is loud, but music does. So I can't turn up the music loud enough to hear it over the AC. I could just turn the fan down, right? Leaving the AC with a temp set and letting it control the fan is one of my stupid little compulsions and I get a little obsessed about my compulsions when I am hypomanic. The fan doesn't get turned down.

The trade-off is still worth it to me. I would rather be slightly up than slightly down.
