I’m at the end of my hypomania, I’m settling down a bit, but I called in sick to work after going out around people and attempting to do things, because I felt humiliated by the fact that I was talking a loud and that I couldn’t concentrate and felt sped up. Does any one else find they call sick into work at the end of their hypomanias, when the agitation catches up with you, and you start to feel embarrassed? I feel so lucky that my hypomanias aren’t extreme, because I can camouflage, but some days it’s too overwhelming to cope with and I need to avoid stress so I don’t run myself into the ground with my racing, agitated thoughts, so embarrassing!

I hear you about the racing agitated thoughts. On the other hand, shouldn't work take your mind off the thoughts?

It totally does, but often times my concentration is impacted at work anyway, and I was so concerned that I wouldn’t be able to control my weird behaviour at work today, and that I’d act extremely awkward, but I’ll probably find better ways to manage it next time ❤️
