I’ve been both. When manic, I can’t concentrate, except to write out all the crazy ideas. When hypomanic I can and will crank out a lot of work—good work product.

When manic, I think Oprah Winfrey would like to interview me. When hypomanic, I think management will be impressed by my thoughts (but I end up annoying them or worse)

I think only you or your doc can decide when you come down.
