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?

Have you contacted your doctor? This doesn't sound good. I don't know what to call this state either, but I feel would best be closely watched. Are you working with a therapist? I
was thinking someone who is familiar with your baseline could provide some objectivity.
Have you identified any stressors or triggers or changes that might be helping to precipitate this switch?
I'm sorry to ask so many questions when you are feeling like what sounds like the pits. Hang in there.
