This suggests to me that you feel your behavior during "highs" remains consistent with your personality. Am I correct? Other interpretations are possible but I am just thinking in terms of bipolar here.

Type I bipolars almost always end up doing things that are out of character during manic episodes; when they "come down" they often experience at least one of the above. I didn't include shame, but I should have.

Type II bipolars do not do as many things that they ordinarily wouldn't or feel contrary about, so they are less likely to have these feelings. However some aftermath can occur, especially with more intense hypomania.

---------------------
Bipolar I = at least one Manic Episode, possible Major Depressive Episodes. (Depression incidence can be anywhere from pervasive to completely absent.)

Bipolar II = at least one Hypomanic Episode + at least one Major Depressive Episode.
