I am bipolar II. I will say that it is very easy to write off hypomania as normal mood or just being in a good mood. It comes out differently from person to person. I didn't really think bipolar fit me until I took my psychiatrist's evaluation. I just thought I had depression and then periods of good mood and motivation. Hypomania can also come out as irritability and anxiousness too.

I am always the first person to realize I am depressed but rarely the first to realize I am hypomanic.
