I don't miss full-blown mania one bit. It's destructive and I'm still paying the price for the episodes I had in the past. However, I looooves me some hypomania and I wish I could experience it again. Every day was the BESTEST DAY EVER! and I loved EVERYBODY and EVERYBODY, and holy crap, look at all the COLORS!!

That being said, I know I really don't want to have hypomania, because while it makes me funny and productive, it also makes me impulsive and I do things like spend a thousand bucks in Walmart and drive recklessly, speeding through town at 55 MPH or so. It's not worth it.
