Is irritability a side affect of mania?

Or of hypermania? I am wondering because for the past about 2 months i have been irritable and it has gotten worse. Today? I am fidgety, irritated, racing thoughts and have alot of energy and its 1 am. I also am getting easily upset at parents for speaking and want to punch/kick walls and cut deeply.

Sounds like textbook hypomania to me - I experience the same things when hypomaniac :)

I do hope this is helpful :)
