I've been extremely anxious during a major depressive episode. My mind races and I can either be very fidgety or have no energy.

For me mixed episodes include visual and auditory hallucinations. I felt like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. They are said to have the highest rates of suicide/attempts and this has been my experience too.

My suggestion would be to discuss with your Psychiatrist. It may be an indication that your meds aren't doing what they should.
