Anyone else been diagnosed with Mixed Episodes? if so, can you tell me how you usually feel and how long it lasts for you. I understand this can be different from person to person but I'm starting to wonder if that is what it is or if it is something else....

I feel mostly up but also have symptoms of depression. Its every single day and has been since the beginning of February. I had 2 days off where I felt oddly "normal" and then it was right back to this mildly to moderate mania AND mild depression. Sometimes I spike and hit what I consider to be my "extreme" mania (which I learned today pales in comparison to most of yours)...

Anyway... I'm trying to figure out if this is it for me. I believe that if you find the true diagnosis, you can find a medication that will work for you. So maybe the Geodon is not correct for me. Or will I never feel normal again for a long period. I'm starting to feel hopeless about this.

I'm just looking for some insight. It seems a lot of you have had bipolar for a long time and know how it works. I'm still extremely new to the game. Is this really my new life?
