I miss the high too. I get beautiful euphoric hypomanias, sometimes with relatively minor negative impacts. At this time of year i am usually well into a Spring hypomania. But this year, with the Spring so late, i haven't got it. I really miss it. I was looking forward to it and counting on it. I'm so sick of feeling down and exhausted.

That's cute that your doctor said to "date yourself"! I've jumped into many an impulsive relationship too, always to my regret. I've managed to resist in recent years and i'm so glad to have put that behavior behind me.
