i’m not entirely sure the difference between hypomanic and manic episodes either, if someone’s able to help educate me on that part it would be appreciated. but i see so many people talk about having a several month long intense manic episode but i feel like my (even i can even call it manic) episodes can even last half a day. like intense energy and impulsivity, anxiety and excitement, everything feels super fast and it feels like the world isn’t even a physical thing. like i’m in a simulation and i’m the only real thing. does that make any sense? i feel like i only have these episodes for a few days... never lasting too long. i’m also self aware when it happens, which i’ve heard from this sub that a lot of people arent aware in the moment
