I always wish for that too. But if I go unmedicated, hypomania ALWAYS morphs into a hostile, psychotic mania and I alienate everyone around me. That's why I'm (normally) compliant with medication and therapy. I love hypomania but it's not good for me. (I tend to have more mania than depression, although my depressions last longer than my manic episodes.)

Definitely take your meds. As much as you don't want to, you need to head this off at the pass. But you know that, or you wouldn't have asked.
