I can definitely feel it today. So maybe my agitation has something to do with that too. I've got some coping skills in my belt thanks to the both of you. I appreciate you! Very much!

You are so welcome! Yes, dysphoric mania seems to be a condition pdocs record in their notes, but often forget to educate their patients about. Dysphoric mania is often an essential aspect of bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, mania is not always euphoric. In fact I hear more about manic anger issues than I do about "happy" mania. I've read quite a lot online about dysphoric mania - definitely check around.
