Okay this morning I'm noticing something interesting. I woke up with very high physical tension/activation, which is why I started this thread in the first place. Based on my experience the past few weeks, with this level of tension I'm very likely to go hypo today, and really the question is whether it will be dysphoric (irritability/rage) or euphoric (subjectively AWESOME but derails my whole agenda). I suspect that's strongly influenced by how I start my day and how much socializing I do.

Here's the weird and interesting thing though. This morning, and I've noticed this a bit on other days but today it really stands out, the physical tension seems to be disconnected from my level of mental stimulation. My alarm went off and I became conscious and immediately thought "crap, I'm really wound up." But I could have easily gone right back to sleep. I normally take a long time to wake up with multiple alarms etc, and this isn't really changed when I'm waking up with this strange physical activation. It still took me almost an hour to really wake up, hitting snooze etc this morning, like always. But when I'm conscious holy crap am I keyed up. I mean sometimes breathing hard while I'm lying in bed. Feeling like I could do a kool-aid man act and jump through walls.

As you can imagine, it is VERY easy for a state like that to turn into agitated hypomania, and sometimes euphoric.

What on earth is going on. The only thing vaguely similar I've experienced is having too much caffeine, which doesn't really wake me up, so I will be sleepy but physically wired in a somewhat similar way.

Come to think of it, this weird agitation type effect has basically felt like I've been on too much caffeine for weeks on end. I barely have any caffeine in my diet either.
