Can you guys describe some of the things you have done/do when you're in that state? I'm trying to figure out my patterns and what my "hypomanic" state may look like, but I don't really have a reference to go by. (I know everyone is different and I'm not implying I'm referencing my hypomania to yours -- I just want something to go by beyond generalities).

-- Do any of these things sound like something someone would do when hypomanic? I've noticed during these times I'm restless, and my ideas always race in my head.

1)I flew to Spain one Christmas because I could, told no one where I was going and just left.
2) I drove to Nebraska, taking 3 days off work, just because I wanted to.
3) I have spent in the past tons of money (usually that I don't have to spend) on things that I never use or needed.
4) Most recently drove 2 hours away to a bar with no plan on how to get home or where to stay the night (I decided to get drunk).

After writing those out, I feel like a bad person now .

I'm tempted to not post this at all, but I will anyway. Just let me know what your (hypo)manic states are like. What do YOU notice about yourself, what do OTHERS notice?
