Hi Andre, (French was my mother tongue, and I am unsure as to whether I've spelt Monsiour correct)
Although what you wrote is a good general description of the various bipolar states, I could easily, by my experience alone, contradict at least half the statements you wrote.
What your doctor told you here:
that if I was hypomanic, that I would not be able to shutup, that I would be talking about ludicrous things and that I would not be able to sit still in my chair.
sounds only partially correct to me. There are many states of hypomania, and the one that he is describing sounds like one getting closer to mania.
I had a flight of ideas, my speech was pressured and I felt like jumping around in his office he stated that hypomanics do not just think about it, they actually do it.
Not in the earlier part of the hypomania.
just in case you may want to reconsider bipolar, Janice
