hi, giving some additional anecdotal info from your poll. I have adhd and pmdd, bipolar runs in my family so I am very familiar with it but do not have it myself. I don't experience hypomania related to my menstrual cycle. there's definitely a huge mood lift as soon as my period starts due to the pmdd, but that's more going from "I suck everything sucks and everyone hates me" to my semi-stable "normal," not a manic state. I also experience elevated mood/energy around ovulation, but again, not hypomania. IME if your definition of hypomania includes inflated confidence and/or impulsivity, that's when you might want to get a bipolar eval. hope this maybe helps and you get the answers you're looking for <3

Thanks 🖤

#i do get elevated mood and energy at the stsrt og my period #but its in like a more normsl range. the hypomanic episodes ive had were a couple days after my period ended and then maybe around #ovulation. maybe. or else it was just in the luteal phase. so like the most dramatic events were not consistent with the other stuff id #attribute to being purely homone triggered mood stuff #and i dont get that impulsive. im just vibranting out of my skin with energy and not sleeping and not tired and my brain is moving so fast #and if i dont sit there and physically hold it it might explode :-P #usually 2 days of really intense and 2 maybe 2 days of being still noticeably altered #unrelated
