What do you hate more? Hypo or Depression? For me actually hypo does more damage, I drink, I smoke, I drug myself, I sleep around, I can't concentrate, I have thousands of thoughts racing through my head, I don't want to go to sleep, I work like ****, I know I will destroy everything but I don't care. Depression just makes me moveless and feel hurt but I can go on with my stuff mostly even though it is hard. Being normal is a Revelation. I always want to be normal.

Depression vs Hypomania? I would say I hate depression more than hypo. However I would say that I hate full blown mania more than depression though because it's no longer pleasurable and I lose functioning and usually need to be hospitalized.

I loathe depression. It makes me feel terrible about myself, I am anxious and I feel dead inside. I love hypomania and wish I could be that way all the time, but full-blown mania is dangerous for me---I become angry and severely irritable, and I say and do bad things to people I love. I don't physically attack anyone, but I have threatened to and it scares them. I'm glad I haven't had any significant mania for a long time now; just bursts of hypomania that last only a few days to a couple of weeks.

With the choices between hypomania and depression, I'd have to say depression, because of how much pain I am in during it. The thing about hypomania is that it is damaging to me, but at the time when I'm experiencing it, ignorance is bliss. It feels like I'm flying high.
Mania, on the other hand, really causes so much damage. The early onset of hypomania feels good at first with the creativity and elevated mood. My hypomania almost always pushes into mania though, where things really start to unravel. Mixed mania wins the award for being the worst state I've ever experienced though. It's so scary with the racing thoughts, it feels it will never end, falling into a black hole. Nobody in my life can calm me or reassure me during those times, and the paranoia seems so real. |

I would say for me the depression is the worst I don't want to move, work, get out of bed, go out see people or talk to people. The manic side is bad too in that I say and do things I wouldn't normally do, make advances on people, get really irritable, start something but because my mind is going a thousand miles a second I just jump to the next thing not completing it. In short I think I fear the isolation I feel with depression more.

I'm prone to psychotic depression, so sometimes...hypomania is something of a relief, as long as it doesn't go on for too long.

I'd have to say I hate hypo more. There is more energy and productivity I guess, but my mind races and I feel completely restless and like I can't keep up with my thoughts. Depression is hard but at least my mind eases up a bit.

It would be depression. I can endure some hypomania, but the crash is always painful.
