My T explained to me that you can have psychosis and still be hypomanic. It is really hard to find the line between hypomania and full blown mania. For me it is a total lack of judgment, little insight into my condition at that point, almost zero sleep but still full of energy, super rapid speech and unable to see that I am controlling conversations, and being unable to see the impact of my behaviour on others. I also push into psychosis and become very grandiose. Mania often requires hospitalisation as you cannot function in society. With hypomania some insight is still there and you can still function to a decent degree. No hospitalisation is required. Well, that is my take but we are all different. Please see your pdoc ASAP and they can assess correct where you sit on the scale.
