Hypomania is Not "a Little Mania", Nor Treated Like One - Dr. James Phelps
Consider the difference between having a *really* good day versus losing contact with reality and risking one's job, savings, relationships and safety. These are completely different experiences. But even though bipolar disorder is often defined as mania + depression, two thirds of people living with bipolarity do not have mania. They have Bipolar II, or "more-than-plain-depression-but-less-than-bipolar" -- with hypomania, in some form. All this matters, because treatments are different for people who've had only hypomania, compared to those who've had manic episodes.
Dr. Phelps focused his practice on complex mood disorders for over 20 years. In addition to full-time patient care, from which he is now mostly retired, he has published multiple articles on bipolar disorders and the “Collaborative Care Model”, a system of psychiatric consultation in primary care. He currently serves as Research Editor for the Psychopharmacology Institute, preparing monthly “Quick Take” podcasts summarizing recent psychiatric articles. He is an emeritus member of the faculty for the psychiatry residency program in his hospital system; and founder of PsychEducation.org, a website with detailed information on bipolar disorders for patients and families. His books include Why Am I Still Depressed? and A Spectrum Approach to Mood Disorders, the latter for professionals and highly interested laypeople.

    i don't know if this is called a manic episode, but i sometimes got a sudden energy burst when i'm working. one time i did soo much work i think it's a month worth of working in just 30 hours. and even tho my body feel tired, my mind is still going strong and well aware. hope my boss don't read this but i even predicted what task he will give me two weeks before he actually gave me the task and starts preparing it. means i already done task he told me to do weeks before he give me, so when it really happens, i just relax all day, pretending to work, and send the completely done task later that evening. the task itself is something that will take 3 days and he surprised when i told him i did it in a day. i still thought that i should've asked for 3 days completion time so i can relax for 3 days. when i am in this burst mode, i'm like laser focused on my task, i even willing to bribe my team with coffee and snacks so they can stay late and keep up with me.

    This is a lie.... there is no research done on a person taking these meds long term because of the fact that they are neurotoxins & are NOT to be taken long term. Months, not years. The R & D done on these meds is a short 8-12 wk study. I know people that have been on these meds for over 7-10 yrs!

    My mania almost always leads to injuries, and I'm taking this seriously. I am a fitness, and adrenaline junkie. When manic I will literally rage quit my job and work out all day everyday. Last year I crippled myself with an overused si joint injury, the year before I went from MMA gym to MMA gym, sparring with everyone until I broke my rib, the delusion that I'm a demigod with no limits is forcing me to find my limits, and I'm tired of it.

    I think it is irresponsible of you to state that bipolar 2 doesn’t involve any mania. Hypomania is a real thing and while it generally doesn’t involve psychosis it can still ruin people’s lives.

    i havent taken therapy in years because of a bad experience when i was younger. but im starting to think i need therapy because i think i have bipolar disorder. for the past couple years i will have random weeks where ill get either really depressed, or really motivated. ive kinda told myself that it was normal for a long time, but ive never really known. i have a big problem with not being able to trust my emotions, because im scared of overreacting, so i dont really open up ever because of that. but this past week i think i had one of these mixed episodes. i spent the whole week in the worst mental state i think ive ever been in. but its weird, because nothing actually bad happened to me. if anything i was having a good week. but like out of no where i got really depressed, and i was overthinking, and i couldnt sleep, and i just felt crazy. on the first day i texted my friend about everything because i was just really stressed and needed someone to talk to. she was super supportive, and it helped me quite a bit. woke up the next day and everything just got even worse. i started to tell myself that everyone around me hated me, and that she was just lying to be the night before. and its so weird because i KNEW she didnt hate me. i do this sometimes where ill convince myself that people dont like me, but usually im able to snap out of it, or at least be okay until im better. but this time i was just completely losing it. i felt extremely guilty for even talking to her. this entire week was an absolute nightmare. and then one day i just woke up and i was fine. like it was really weird. the difference was very strange. like my head felt clear for the first time in like a week. it was really strange, and im starting to realize that i have a lot more problems than what ive been telling myself. i think i should start taking therapy again, because this week was really really bad, i even relapsed with self harm this week after nearly 2 years. idk its just strange. ive experienced stuff like this before, but it was so weird. i just was overthinking, and i felt so cloudy in my head, like i just could not for the life of me think straight. i just felt bad all the time, and i could not stop ranting on and on to myself. and im already a person who rants and overthinks a lot, but it was BAD this time. idk, im definitely gonna get therapy. but unfortunately im only 16 and i have to ask my mom, and honestly im terrified. i know she'll totally be okay with it, and she'll be supportive, but i just hate the feeling of people knowing stuff like that about me. im just really scared of her saying im overreacting, even though i know she'd never in a million years say that. idk, sorry i just felt like ranting.
