I don't believe the perpetual hypomanic individual does truely exist. My mother oftentimes appears as one of those perpetual hypomanic individuals in public but then behind closed doors (its a little too "Ordinary People"ish)
I think it is fair to seek a lasting sence of well being, but asking for permanant hypomania is probably not possable.
Some of "those" people who appear to be perpetually hypomanic may too have mood disorders that are not seen,
You just don't know and thats why you cannot base how you should feel on how others "appear" to be feeling. You need to seek to do whats right and healthy for you.
