i don't know if this belongs in this section, but i have bipolar so i figured i would just post it on here.
i have my fair shares of mania/hypomania and depressive states in my cycles.
recently i noticed that i've been having (more?) dysphoric manic states lately.
most of the time i would start out with the euphoric and it would turn into dysphoric. i do notice it and usually try to catch myself, but i don't know how fast this transition happens. so when i get to the dysphoric state i am extremely agitated, talking really fast (and when i stutter while i'm talking fast i get super irritated), can't sit still/anxious, pessimistic. i also get angry/irritated when i'm talking to other people and they don't understand what i'm saying or if they disagree with me.
since this past weekend i fell into (i think) a mixed state, but it's different than the dysphoric mania that i usually have and i'm having a hard time pulling out of it.
i'm still agitated/irritable, pessimistic, can't sit still, but i'm tired (but can't take a nap), and keep switching from angry to sad all day.
would this "state" still be dysphoric mania? or something else?
