I can hide my hypomania as well as I can hide my depression. Except those closest to me now recognize the signs. Red flag is random sprees of buying multiples of shoes and lingerie. Feeling confident, sure of myself, chattier, look to connect with long lost friends, at times my thoughts are all so consuming I feel like I’m encased in a fog and shrink away. This usually last few week to months. I wish I could control it and enjoy it once in a while but it’s the depressive crash after that scares me cause it drags for months.
