When I have a mixed episode, I usually have the racing thoughts and lack of sleep like I do when hypomanic, but lack of motivation and feelings of boredom and sadness like when I'm depressed. My pdoc said that even though "technically" bipolar II isn't "supposed" to have mixed episodes, it can happen. I hate the mixed episodes the most. Take care!!

You live with the threat, you tell me you live with the threat of my extinction. Leonard, I live with it too."
