My husband has acted similarly when I've started doing stuff like that, particularly projects, not more running (I'm an overexerciser) or less sleep. But he will be happy and commenting on all that I'm doing, and I'm wondering if I'm really me or if I'm hypomanic. I don't know. I've been in the mental health system so long, I don't even know what my normal is like. So yeah, I think my husband prefers the hypomanic me best of all. I don't think he gets that hypomania can lead to full blown mania, that there is more to bipolar that straight depression or complete mania or that a condition such as hypomania even exists. He doesn't like to discuss my mental health, saying I'm using the labels as excuses or ways to define myself.
