I’m staying with my mom soon for about a week and I’m currently hypomanic. I’m torn on whether or not to tell her about the hypomania, and not sure how to approach that conversation in general. 

Some context: We’ve had some issues around my mental illness in the past (she kicked me out when I was in high school because of my bipolar), but since then she has become more willing to listen. She’s not super experienced at picking up on the signs of mania, and I think she’s only seen me full manic (not hypomanic). Because of that, I don’t know if she would even notice that something is off. I’m worried that if she does notice, she’ll feel betrayed that I didn’t tell her. Being without a place to stay is not a concern — if she does tell me I’m not welcome there, I have other family in the area I can stay with. 

I would love to get other opinions on what to do, as I’m not in the most rational mindset lol

Also, any tips on not spending a ton of money? That’s never been something that shows up in my episodes until this one
