Hi Fuzzybear. I just added one more tool to the end of my post above. The Automatic Thought Record. Under the "Situation" column of that pdf, it asks about an unpleasant thought, but the Automatic Thought Record can also be used for thoughts during elated hypo/mania. For example, instead of asking "What led to the unpleasant thought?" One could rather question possible "too good to be true" thoughts, as well, if one has some minimal amount of insight into a hypomania or mania. I've used that when a therapist/psychiatrist, or even my husband, has urged me to do a reality check, of sorts. They've sometimes led me through the process of completing an Automatic Thought Record.
