Sensitivity to triggers. I used to be much thicker skinned in my youth, and have the ability to blow off many things. Not so much anymore. Also, in my youth, I often had prolonged hypomanias that had to really be super fueled to reach full blown mania. Now, though my medications mostly keep me stable (more than ever), when I do get triggered, full blown mania can come on much faster and more furious. The good thing is, the mania can be extinguished faster and easier than in the past.

When you're hypomanic and/or manic, are you more often euphoric, mixed, or severely irritable?
