i know exactly what you mean. being in a 'mixed state' is still new to me. not even a year ago manic and depressive states were the only ones i had to watch out for. i was either really happy (jumping on everything; literally) or really sad and down in the dumps. i had some changes within the past year and i'm starting to wonder if those changes have something to do with being in this new state; i still don't know for sure though..
