Just wondering...

Apparently I can sleep 7-9 hours a night while hypomanic. Until my therapist pointed it out... I didn't realize how bad my shopping sprees were, I didn't realize I was talking rapidly, I didn't realize that I smiled a lot (because normally, I have flat affect), I didn't realize how distractible I was, and I didn't realize I was saying bizarre things. I guess I'm lucky I didn't lose my job.

This situation really frustrates me. I normally try to look at my sleep to identify potential mood changes, but evidently, sleep doesn't matter in this scenario. Now I don't know what to do to identify potential hypomanic -- or even manic -- episodes. I have no insight... and that's why I'm depressed right now... because I crashed hard. Now I'm sleeping upwards of 10-12 hours a night and feeling like total s***.
