Hi,
If it was a suicide attempt then this could be a mixed state. I could be wrong, but I don't know how many suicide attempts occur during a hypomanic episode (unless it was dysphoric mania or mixed mania).
I've read that mixed states can be particularly risky suicide wise.
Analyzing what happened there is REALLY important. It may not be possible for us to accurately diagnose this (pathology doesn't always recognize pathology).
Not sure what to say. If I had a good grasp on what was happening with me, I'd help you.
Yesterday, I stopped my lithium and slept better than I have in a LONG time (no nasty morning waking). So go figure.
