I've been feeling stressed about every single thing lately and just came accross an article about mania and hypomania so I'm trying to understand how I can know if I'm becoming maniac or hypomaniac? Does anyone know about this?

Well if you now know the symptoms off both you are just going to have to regulate yourself.

I know for myself, I go full blown into manic. It lasts up to weeks and has very very bad side effects.

Hypomania isn't as severe. I think you'll know.

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
