Hi all, in fiveish minutes when the clock strikes midnight, I will begin the first day of my tenth week of hypomania. It's been a ride and started as not a big deal but is kind of becoming intrusive, not the fun stuff anymore (which I guess is to be expected the longer it lasts). My family, my psychiatrist, and my roommate all say I may even be bordering on mania because of some things I'm experiencing. But I'm not quite seeing it, and I don't know if it's more because I'm just used to it (I mean, that happens after 2 1/2 months) or because they're exaggerating. How do you know when you are coming down? What kinds of things can I look for to tell me that I'm going in that direction? I would like to know the difference between going on a downward slope into a different plane versus just turning into different axes of the plane that is hypomania.
