Currently a little hypomanic. I see a lot of positives about it, very few downsides. I don't like that I excessively chatter and reveal too much. Nor do I like that I seem to talk to myself quite a bit. I also know about overspending.
BUT the rest seem to all be positives. It isn't bothering me that I'm not getting much sleep right now. I've got great energy. I make a lost of lists and accomplish a lot. More open, positive attitude. I am actually for the most part, not minding it at all. Do you crash after being hypomanic? Can anyone else think of a reason for a negative about it? Just curious. This is only the second time that I KNEW I was hypomanic. The other times, I didn't know and can't remember much about the episodes. Any help? |

Hey reesecups- for me I love the euporia that can come with hypomania, but I tend to have problems with agitation and overconfidence and then I crash into depresson. I find hypomania to be more of a dangerous state then depression. My goal is to find contentment in the middle. Best of luck!

Other than a real worry I might buy a plane ticket to a foreign country (I've done that before!) the crash I have been in for a couple of weeks is plenty of downside to the hypo (mania). I always crash.

Mm, I always feel great during it, too. Guess that's why a lot of us don't seek treatment until a really bad depressive episode. I never thought of such euphoria as being a bad thing, even.
But the crash. The crash is definitely a downside.

The higher the flight, the harder the crash. This latest manic episode was a bad one (even though I enjoyed 2/3 of it---the hypomanic part). I don't think I'm really depressed, per se, but I'm embarrassed and sad and I don't trust my judgment even a little bit. I HATE feeling like this. I know it will pass, but I hate it.

Thanks everyone for their replies. My hypomania is due to titrating down on Celexa. I THINK. Would that make a difference if I crash or not?

Hopefully your pdoc is keeping a close eye on that part of things as you go off the med.

Is there any way to avoid crashing?

If there was, I bet you that every BP'er on the planet would be beating down the door of whoever invented it, clamoring for it and paying whatever ridiculous amount they wanted to charge for it.

Lol. I would pay gladly for a med that kept me hypomanic and wasn't addicting or had side-effects!

I don't always crash, sometimes I just return to baseline. But that's only since getting stable on my meds. I use to crash bad and miss all the payments on my now extensive credit card bill.
I love hypomania. I enjoy it when it comes around. It gives me confidence and energy that I have missed since high school. I prep for it though to reduce the crash. I don't let myself own more money than I can handle when hypo (asking my parents to have control over some of my finances), and try and get homework or overdue things done, or just have fun catching up with people I don't usually have the energy too. And I always let people know that's what's going on so they can remind me to check in on myself. Have fun being hypomanic, and I hope the crash isn't too bad.

I am so confused! I thought the hypomania had subsided, and didn't really think too much of it while I still had trouble sleeping. But I woke up this morning ready to crawl out of my skin. I want to DO! I am very positive, almost ecstatic again. I was pretty positive last night but was not overly so so after yesterday I thought it was over and that it had stopped. But now I just don't know. I don't mind it, but I just have not had enough experience to understand hypomania well enough to know! It's frustrating.
Can someone tell me if you can go from hypomania to normal to hypomania again within a 2-3 day span? |

I really love hypomania. It is the time where I feel most alive. I often induce hypomania in myself by not sleeping and using stimulants. I know I shouldn't do it it the feeling is too great to give up for me.
I am lucky I the respect that I don't automatically go into depression after hypomania but I am trying to stop triggering it because I am also susceptible to mania which is scary.
