Sorry that I didn't recall seeing this post. I remember now.

It is difficult to say for sure from your description whether it was a mixed-state hypomania or a partial relapse into depression. Partial relapses often involve anxiety and irritability. Even racing thoughts can be part of certain depressions.
However, the following passage might be revealing:
> I had way too much energy.
In what way?
> I actually did some cleaning (I normally have a very difficult time cleaning--I wait till something is covered in dust to clean it).
Did you pace yourself or did you race from one task to another? Did you find that you were not completing all the tasks you began? Were you organized or disorganized? How many hours of sleep did you get? Increased libido? Did you find yourself driving too fast? Did you find that other people were too slow and that you were quicker and smarter?
Those are just a few things that are often associated with hypomania.
> I should also add that I was seeing things out of the corners of my eyes, hearing quick sounds, and feeling sensations in my legs like my phone was going off when it wasn't, for instance
I'm not entirely sure what these things demonstrate, but they seem to indicate an altered state.
