TW: mention of suicide 
so i (22) was diagnosed bipolar 2 since high school. today while skimming through the dsm, i realized that if an episode ever requires hospitalization, it is by definition manic. i vividly remember once having an episode where i was completely out of my mind not making any sense, and in the same episode i attempted to kill myself by overdosing. 
now my problem is i don’t think that episode lasted a week, which is a requirement for a manic episode. 

i am not asking for a diagnosis, just curious if anyone has ever experienced or heard of something similar. would the episode be considered manic or hypomanic?
