So actually I have mostly depression, very very mild hypomania. But I think I may have mood liability more similar to borderlines in the way I react to triggers. In response to your question, how did I get out of it: I took a med that turned my life around. (p.s. I am feeling more optimistic today...)

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.
