About the same as you, to be honest; give or take a few.

Yes, great list which I can relate to. Of course it depends on what stage hypo/mania or depression you are in. On rare occasions I get pure euphoric mania that has all the manic aspects without the anxiety, agitation and irritability. Wish I could put it in pill form and take it every day. Only downside to this state is that while I KNOW I can achieve ANYTHING I am very disorganised in thinking and action so not much actually gets done successfully. Of course, I don't see that at the time.
