Hypomania
A milder, shorter 'high' than mania — more energy, less sleep, faster thoughts — that doesn't cause psychosis or a crisis by itself.
Hypomania can feel good and productive, which is why it’s easily missed. It can also be the early stretch of a climb toward mania, so it’s worth noticing rather than riding on autopilot.
