hmmm i don't know if i have mixed states. i probably do now that i ponder it. i can feel happy or hopeful about something or someone (or myself) somewhat and yet have that underlying just want to be dead feeling at same time. hmmm. i bet i do have mixed states. i am most definitely bipolar 2 ultradian. i have agitation (high) and depression mainly w/ anxiety and constant obsessive racing thoughts. almost ADHDish. i wonder if abilify might help me too. so glad to hear it's helped you!!!
