I present well too. My mind can be going 1000 miles an hour and far, far away, or I can be deep in the darkness, and nothing shows on the outside. Even my family can't tell I am hypomanic right now---all my restlessness and fidgeting is on the inside. My mind is going so fast right now that I can't even spew word vomit, it's all stuck in the back of my throat somehow and if it does come it'll all tumble out at once. I've talked about this in support groups and people are telling me to call my pdoc, but I don't even know what to say because I seem so "normal". I don't know what I want to do about it either, I sure don't want more or increased meds. I'm having enough trouble taking the ones I already have.
