I recently spoke to an old friend and I was SO stressed for the two weeks we spoke and then absolutely crashed when we stopped talking after a conflict. Looking back I think it actually triggered a hypomanic episode. It was absolutely exhausting. 

I actually notice now that some people give me more anxiety or a more “manic” feeling and I don’t know why. My closer friends make me feel calm/normal. Hoping I’m not alone in this bc it has me a bit shaken up since realizing. Maybe my brain is picking up on toxic behavior, so I’m on high alert, but I’m not realizing??

Has anyone experienced this, and what are the best ways to deal with/navigate it?
