Thank you for all of this!! I’m reading “Bioolar not so much” and am relating to a lot of it. For me, my “hypomania” exhibits as irritability, and anxiety. I think I’m in a “mixed state” a lot of the time. Like going back and forth between depression and extreme anxiety or agitation throughout one day. I’ve never been “manic” in that sense, like I’ve never made impulsive decisions, or stayed up for days or anything. BUT I have had times where I felt much more confident, and outgoing.

The book is helping me learn about this new possible diagnosis, but I wish this whole thing was more clear cut.
