I'm certainly not as hypomanic as I was last month when my brain was like chaos manifest. I was really starting to slip then, but then I came down for some time. Not enough to have an impact on my sleep, though. At no point in the past several months have I felt depressed in the traditional sense. I really want to be able to celebrate this because it is a massive accomplishment for me to be doing so well for so long, let alone my lack of hospitalizations in the past year.

I don't usually have hypomanic episodes persist for so long; on the order of several months. It doesn't seem to be destabilizing and I'm functioning quite well. I have a solid support system that can tell me when things are getting a bit much (as it often does because I don't stop talking).
