[@marybettygriffin5320]

Thank you. Glad someone could say what I think. Over medicated is worse...i call it the Sit Down and be Quiet medication. Not fixed or even understood...just sit down an be quiet.

This is very encouraging. I've been thinking about this possibility recently. I'm starting a hypomania phase- last time it happened I hadn't been diagnosed so I jumped into it with no reservations, and I ended with acute psychosis in hospital. This time, well I'm under treatment which helps, but I'm also figuring out ways to enjoy the good aspects of hypomania while keeping a rational eye on my behaviors and not getting too carried away or overexerting myself. I thought maybe I'd be mistaken and this could be an illusion of control stemming from the hypomania. But what you're saying, and you obviously have more experience than I, makes me believe it IS possible. I hope you get more views. Thank you.
