When I was younger I had fashion lines but only in my head. I'd design clothes while laying in bed. It was fun, I didn't lay in bed thinking ugh I have to be up early. Zero frustration. Sometimes I redesign my house. I stopped designing clothes by now. Now instead of that I have become an interior decorator on those days. Is this the creativity without the material? Lol
There was only one time I can remember actually going out and getting material. I bought a bunch of canvases and did acrylic painting and was actually pretty good but still had insecurities and felt like a fake artist during that phase. During that same period I had taken up music lessons and started a small business (in my head) which led me to put an ad and get clients with nothing to give them (oops). Was this hypomania? I'm normally a pretty lazy person so I know it wasn't my norm. But during hypo isn't a person much more confident? I wasn't but I was confident enough to try. |

When I have these ideas that I'm fashion designer I can't be stopped from buying tons of fabrics or yarn, and new knitting needles and more new knitting needles. I have few square metres full of that stuff at my house. Isn't (hypo)mania about having more energy and doing or at least attempting to do more that usual rather than fantasies?

Were there any other symptoms at the same time like reduced need for sleep, rapid speech, impulsiveness etc? It sounds like it could be part of hypomania if other symptoms were also present.

Agree with Wander.
Do you have a mental health professional you can talk to about your thoughts? |

Hypomania often involves decreased sleep. It usually involves more than a few incidents of poor judgment based on over-optimism. It almost always is something that has an effect on one's judgment and well being over a period of time rather than a single incident.
You can not get an adequate diagnosis online. You need real world exams, tests, and interactions with a trained professional to sort things out. |
