I'm having another manic or hypomanic episode, I can't tell.

* My brain has been unable to focus for very long.
* I have racing thoughts.
* I've been losing a lot of sleep.
* I've been spending a lot of money.
* I've been calling friends and family repeatedly in a day when I usually only talk to them once a week.
* I've felt fabulous about life and myself (and I don't use "fabulous" lightly).
* One time I woke up and found a noose shape shown on the wall and ceiling. I thought it was a sign to hang myself even though I haven't been feeing suicidal. Turns out my cell phone cord was shaped like a noose and the light was reflecting it onto the wall. That was really scary.

What's the difference between hypomania and mania? I think that hypomania is more associated with BP 2, which my first psych said I have. But the second psych said I have BP 1. I don't know what to think.

What difference does it make? I feel like I have less to worry about if it's just a hypomanic episode. That might be wrong.
