Hey,
I think I might be hypomanic somewhat. People are really worried with how happy I’m being. How do you recognise when you are being manic and what to do if you can only see your therapist a month later? (Because she’s on vacation and full.) My symptoms are: Spending a lot of money. Only wanting to do fun things. Wanting to make a corset (while I can’t sew yet) and maybe even making money for it. Underestemating homework and the like. Being really happy and excited about everything Dressing a lot more nice than usual. (Today someone asked me if me and my friend had a party to go to because we looked so nice) And my usual lack of attention. |

Igenio, you have described my symptoms of hypomania to a tee. And if other people are noticing it, it's time to do something about it.

Sounds like hypomania to me.

If your therapist is on vacation contact your pdoc . Your therapist can't really do much anyway
Your pdoc can stop it if it's getting out of control

Hi,
Sounds like some of the characteristics are there. How is your sleeping? Do you feel pressure to speak to others?

I agree, it sounds like hypomania. I always want to make things when I'm experiencing mania. Last time it was pillows and before that it was wigs. I had even planned on selling them on eBay for like $400 a piece -_____-
Hopefully you can get in to see your psychiatrist. Good luck! |

This might be premature, but welcome to the disorder! You're going to love the meds!
