My passion is reading, mostly science. It gives md great pleasure reading theories. So when hypomanic I tend to go really deep into whatever subject I’m reading. Until it gets unhealthy and I’m stuck in a rabbit hole.

My H and I jokes about that, saying that it is a good thing because we are not sure I would be able to be faithful all these year if not

I do have lower libido when depressed, and a bit more when hypo. But not as much.
Same with shopping, I don’t like that. I do change hobbies though.

I have the same traits, they are just a bit different. I’m a bit weird even in my stable state of mind
Normal, but then again not. Like most people
