I’ve been VERY productive and creative these last few weeks and I don’t want to ruin it. I am going to text my t at a reasonable hour though just to let her know my mood is shifting. She will probably want to msg my pdoc. We will see what happens. I know I need to change my mindset but it’s really hard right now.

I think it's great you are going to tell your therapist about your elevated mood. I just came down from a 3-4 week hypomanic episode that I wasn't even aware of, and now I am depressed. I regret not speaking up about my reckless behaviors, so now I am facing the consequences.
Anyway, you should definitely say something to your pdoc, too, while you still have awareness. You don't want to potentially become psychotic and lose all insight because then you may get involuntarily committed. With COVID-19 going around, I think it is best to stay out of the hospital if you can avoid it.
