Hi ciderguy. The list I provided is more a view of the symptoms I generally present in hypomania and/or mania. I do have the DSM-5, and since you asked, sex is referred to in the symptoms list twice. Once in the example list for "increase in goal-directed activity" as "sexually", and another time in the list of examples for "Excessive involvement in activities that have a high potential for painful consequences", as "sexual indiscretions".
Pretty much all of the symptoms I listed are in the DSM-5 mania and hypomania list, though perhaps slightly reworded. One in the DSM-5 list I didn't mention in my first post in this thread was "distractability", which I've also experienced at times when hypo(manic). The DSM-5 states that three (or more) symptoms in the DSM-5 manic (or hypomanic) symptom list (which I have not formally provided) or four (if the mood is only irritable) must be present to a significant degree and represent a noticeable change from usual behavior.
