> my dream is to live in a state of controlled, euphoric hypomania. Wouldn't that be nice?

INHO No:

If you were Hypomanic/Euphoric all the time, what would be the point of reference?

Euphoria is only relative to our 'usual state'. As such it is a moving target, the pursuit of which requires ever increasing expenditure of time/money/effort to the point of personal/family/work and social irresphonsibility.

My personal experience of the Hell of Addiction on the mental level was:

The realization of the harm i was causing others and the failure to adequately fulfill my resphonsibilities - due - to my self-centered pursuit of euphoria.

The Hell of Depression is a very similar condition:

The awareness of the harm/inconvenience/burden that my condition places on all of those around me.

Hell.Addict....Major Dep.........Normal......Euphoric..?
