Hypomania for me is like lightning and rainbows and sunshine. All the colors are so bright and it's the BESTEST DAY EVER!!! I love everybody and everything. I have endless energy, and it comes out in rearranging the sock drawer at two in the morning or cleaning every nook and cranny in the bathroom. I looooves me some hypomania...trouble is, once it comes on I'm likely to keep zooming right into the danger zone. Mania, by contrast, is not fun, and I'm apt to be mean and angry. So the best way to avoid that is by not allowing myself to get hypomanic in the first place, hence the long list of meds in my siggy line.
