Oh, I miss hypomania too. Pure ,mild to moderate, hypomania that is. No mania, and no mixed states. Just the amazing euphoria, flight of ideas, ability to achieve goals quickly (or at least when mild), super-sociable, charismatic, mostly functional but still able to not cause major damage. That, I miss. It's the Craziness that often follows that I hate, and will avoid at any costs.

This means I try to avoid hypomania as it usually leads to a severe mixed state, mania, and psychosis sometimes. I have come too close to death to risk that again.
