I feel like i'm busting at the seams and there's nothing stopping me from spinning around and cleaning my entire house and then running a few miles and then maybe sitting and letting all the thoughts swim around in my head and probably eat me alive. this is hypomania and it's better than depression but it is also a lie because it doesn't stay and it makes you think for awhile that you're doing better and that all the activity is how people really function but then it hits you that oh no wait this isn't normal either i still don't have it right. and it makes you not want to use proper punctuation because who has time for that

I hear you loud and clear! Perfect description of hypomania. I'm there right now too, gotta try settle down and sleep. I hope you're doing OK. I often think, at least we're not just stuck with depression 24/7. BP gives us a taste of what a better mood is like. And eventually that better mood will last

Yeah, it's not how "normal" people function, either. It's too fast and too much. I think that is why there is a crash after it, because your body can't keep up with your mind forever.

but not everyone crashes or has depression. i've been hypomanic for 35 years and never had depression...just more irritability, agitation and insomnia this past year. it's horrid. never had any real fun being hypomanic tho in younger years was very self-destructive. now it's just irritability and agitation and becoming easily stressed.
