Does anyone get insanely happy while manic/hypomanic? I cried for 30 minutes today because I realized how happy and content with life I am. Now, I typically try to take manic feelings with a grain of salt, but this time it feels good. I try not to embrace and personalize the emotions I get when I identify that I may be manic. Is it wrong to this time? The crying felt like a release of gratitude and self love and appreciation for everything I have in life. I haven’t been depressed in months due to my antidepressant (escitalopram) and I ran out of my antipsychotic two days ago (risperidone) which is how I saw this coming and have been able to monitor it even though I can’t stop the flood of emotions. Does anyone else experience heightened joy/happiness when they get manic/hypomanic?
