• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

People in general love me in hypomania too. I get about 100X the amount of stuff done than I normally can, I am witty, engaging, charming. My husband enjoys the increased sex drive (that's pretty much stopped since meds started though! Even when I DO hit hypomania.)

I HATE mania though. I'm angry, I have panic attacks, I'm driving 90mph on the freeways cursing at the other idiots that are driving too slowly. I'm hallucinating, I haven't slept in days, etc.

But hypomania is FUN. I'd live in hypomania if I could.
