thank you that sounds exactly what shes like right now and she hates being out of control of herself.
she just recently saw her psychologist but i think she needs to have one she talks to more than just getting a checkup how her meds are going.

how long do these episodes last for you? I'd say its about 2 weeks but yesterday was a peak. I just asked her if your description fit and she said yes very very much so.

Mixed states can be rather dangerous if you're not careful, because it's easy to push you over the edge. And, yes, in my experience I am super sensitive to everything and cry or get angry very easily.

I would say sleeping a lot is a red flag for depression in a lot of cases, but she could just also be genuinly tired.

I would say that if it isn't clearing up and she's not doing well, you should get her in to see her doctor or her therapist ASAP. Just to be safe and figure out what's going on. Be there for her, listen to what she's telling you, and let her know you're there and will help her through it. Having support is a huge, huge important thing. And know if she explodes at you right now, she's kind of caught in a tornado in her mind and having a hard time. I know it's hard, so take care of yourself, too.
