I'm bipolar 2 and I have hypomania moments. I've only had times of mania when someone died and someone I loved broke up with me. I loved him and when he left me, I felt it was the result of me and my behavior. I'm not suspicious of people, but I feel worn down and need time to relax. Once I get worn down and tired, I'm not in the mood to talk. If people continue to talk to me, I feel annoyed by them being in the room. Once they leave feeling hurt, I feel horrible and cry. I can only process so much in one day and with my mind racing, I feel so tired and sleep. My mind racing is what drives me crazy and I'll over analyze things to the point I'll feel frustrated. Don't deal with anxiety unless I'm stressed out. Many people think I'm sad when I'm actually in a good mood. Sometimes I just daydream to get relief from things bothering me. I'll think of funny scenes from movies and cartoons. Often times I get that weird look from people but I pretty much ignore it now. I'll just giggle from things I think about and it's usually something funny. One thing I know what I have to control is when I do get mad and thankfully it doesn't happen a lot. Do feel shy around others though cause I guess I'm not sure what to say, lol. I've been picking up on my moods and it's weird but anytime it happens, I think to myself, ok this feels familiar. It's as if I'm picking up on my own moods and how I'll react. My mother says I exhaust her by talking on and on.. so now I've been venting in my journal and I'll jump from one topic to the next, lol.

some of us bipolar people can overwhelm others. Journaling sounds like a good idea when you're feeling hypo manic and speed talking. Also It's ok to tell someone when you just can't handle talking to them. Do what you need to need to do to take care of youself.

Everyone is allowed to need a little space now and then.

Some things the same some things different. When my mind is racing, I don't get tired and I don't sleep without medication. I think of things and chuckle for what seems like no reason to others; sometimes it even seems that way to me because the funny thought was just one car on a busy highway and I literally can't remember what I was chuckling at when asked. Seems to happen at inopportune times like when someone just said something about a sad or bad event in their life and I chuckle. People think I am sad when I am not but barely notice I am down when I am in the abyss.

Long winded way of saying yes, I can relate to a lot of it. I am also type II.
