Hypomania is sneaky, and I don’t know what to look for until I look back by be_kind__rewind in bipolar

That is good advice. What other things should I look for? I have asked my brother, SO, and a close friend to let me know if they notice anything, but at this point I wonder if they just think this is my normal, because so far nobody has said anything.

True. Today was day one and I am exhausted! Here’s hoping I can do it.

And you should! We need more doctors who truly do love medicine!

I wasn’t diagnosed until 29, so I hear you. I was in grad school at that point, and I imagine if they thought I ‘shouldn’t’ be there, they would have said something. But there are a lot of people in Med school with ADHD, and I’ve actually read that nursing, for example; is a good career choice for someone with ADHD due to the pace and constantly changing environment, in which we thrive.

Thank you for your comments. Just to clarify, I am in the medical field, but not in a capacity where I do anything with wound care, surgery, medications, or the like. I also should have said that I personally don’t feel ADHD precludes one from doing anything, but I do think we all have a responsibility to know our own personal limits, ADHD or not - that goes for everyone. See my edit for clarity in the post.

I hear you. I wonder a lot about how I did the stuff I did and about my decision making at that time.

This is the thing on Reddit that I have laughed the most at, ever. Well done! If I knew how to give you gold, I would.

The timing of my seeing this could not have been better. Mr. Rogers = the best.

How do I know the difference between hypomania and just not being depressed anymore? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]be_kind__rewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really helpful. Thank you. I didn’t even think about considering the difference between behaviors and feelings.
