Hypermania

Has anyone had any Hypomania. For the past week (since the sun has been shining) I can't seem to sit still. I am totally exhausted and in agony with my joints etc but just can't keep still.

All weekend was spent washing (if it didn't move it went in the washing machine ) Six washing loads later, all washed and then ironed..... not done any proper ironing for about 6 months. It has been a case of ironing when needed!

Today it has been cleaning windows, washing all UPVC frames, doors, weeding the drive etc......

My partner and son are in shock :shock: they have just come in to a lovely cooked dinnner........

sometimes I get it by using the lightbox when the weather is sunny again therfore getting a double dose....

Hypomania can indeed be quite life-enhancing as Bill suggests above.
My only advice would be that if you find yourself in this situation, try to keep matters in perspective and to think important things out. I didn't, and have spent a lifetime ruminating on the past.
Enjoy.

I sit in the park at lunchtimes, trying to get as much sun to my retina as possible. I don't mean staring at the sun - as this will make me go blind, but I've read that the light is enough if you close your eyes.

Sometimes I feel like a lizard - at any opportunity I look at the sky in the direction of the sun - my boyfriend calls me a sunlizard - hence the sign off on this forum

I have felt brilliant up until the last couple of days when I slipped back a little. Last week when the weather was good, I felt wonderful and seemed to have so much energy. Its supposed to be sunny again in a day or two, I can hardly wait :D
