Strength, first a hug and wishing you better days very soon.

I am curious why you have labeled your bi-polar as atypical?

I ask because mine is also atypical in that before diagnosis and medication, I would go hypomanic, then full blown mania, followed by a mixed state and then occasionally into traditional crushing depression. All of this thought to be rapid cycling but it may be too soon after dx to say on that.

During a mixed state of mania + depression simultaneously, I would describe myself as emotionally reactive like a rocketship as you did in your subject line here. But I have a feeling that perhaps you were describing your entire condition ? Not sure.

Another question about your post would be how did you get out of hell 3 years ago?

It's good that you have reached out to this forum about it. Hopefully you have a Pdoc or therapist that you've also contacted.

I hope you feel better really soon. This is tough to live with and you are not alone.
