We only have one more day of nice weather tho. Then it goes below freezing again. So that's why i'm just enjoying this good mood, because it'll probably disappear once it gets cold again. It's been a nice respite and hasn't escalated to where i'm overspending foolishly, so the only disadvantage has been a wonky schedule. And that doesn't matter so much since i don't work and keep to myself and can nap at will.

Anyways, most of my hypomanias have been benign and i didn't get into the impulsive overspending. I've had a couple religious hypomanias where i just really got into God and went to church lots. I get beautiful euphoric hypomanias and they're mostly harmless, except for scribbling on the walls, coloring my hair turquoise or purple, and little things like that.

It was just my last hypomania in the Summer of 2022 that i got into the impulsive online shopping and blew a $h!t-ton of money. It's made me very cautious about my hypomania. But for the moment, things seem okay.
Yeah, you sound hypomanic but in control. Enjoy but stay cautious!
