Hi Suga,
You may have something there about the migraines being more regular during mixed episodes. I get them when I am depressed too but they are triggered from the anxiety induced crying meltdowns.

I know that fuzzy, not really here feeling. That's how I feel when on the edge of mania. I think maybe that is why I flip from doing one thing to another. Trying to find something that will settle the sense of detachment. I tend to drink a lot of water when I am like that. I also do a lot of mindlessness type exercises. Things that will cause me to focus on one small thing for as long as I can. Like looking at all the details of a flower or watching a bee fly around the garden or closing my eyes and listening to the birds sing. I also love to look at the clouds or rock cliffs and finding all the faces and shapes in them. These kinds of things help to slow my thinking down and I can often then return to a task and stick with it for more than a few minutes at a time.

I am feeling more level today. No headache, no fuzzies. No wild imaginings. Its all good today.

I hope you start to feel better soon. Keep me posted ok. Eat health, drink plenty, breath steady and laugh whenever you get a chance.
