Hypomania is a less severe expression of mania. For me it looks like a lot of self confidence, impulsivity, recklessness, energy, and irritability. I actually tend to enjoy hypomania a lot. Full on mania, not so much

Iā€™m sza, bipolar type. For me, hypomania looks like excessive chattering with a drive and need to talk, lack of sleep, promiscuity and risky sex, extreme creativity, excessive spending, impulsivity, lack of appetite, irritability, argumentativeness, paranoia, poor judgment, speeding and accident proneness (when driving), excessive journaling, and excessively long phone conversations.
