Hypomania is "intoxicating" for me. But I wouldn't say I am addicted to it because I don't think I have any control of when it is going to happen or how long it will last. Though there are times I wish I could. I was addicted to alcohol with which I self-medicated. I could control when that was going to happen.
Generally I like hypomania at the time, unless l I become aware of what is going on and have some thoughts of self-care that there is going to be a crash coming . But sometimes I think that this bout of hypomania will be different and this time it will last. None of mine have lasted...
