How do you tell the difference between hypomania and just plain old mania? I mean, I definitely am having hypomanic symptoms: impulsivity (cleaned out my closet, weeded out books & sold them to a used bookstore, buying crap I don't need, driving while at least hypomanic before daughter hid my keys), little appetite, bad sleep, pressured speech & writing, delusions of grandeur (thinking all my ideas are brilliant and must be blurted out to everyone and that everyone wants to know every little thing I think or do, low filter I guess you'd say), WAY more talkative, irritability, etc. ad infinitum. I know hypomania is less severe than full-blown mania, but where's the line where you draw the difference?
Just curious.
