It could be that you're feelin GREAT and loving life but you're exhausted all the time and just want to sleep and don't really have any interest in doing anything aside from sitting on your butt. It has features from both depression and mania.

Wow you have just described me, I didnt realise that was what a mixed state was. How long can this last? Cos for me its been going on a while.
I have had a mixed state before these meds, I dont remember how I felt much but I was very agitated, I had tons of energy but no outlet for it I just felt like I was going to explode. It was like my insides were red hot and I was frustrated because I couldnt get words out properly. I would go from crying to explosively angry within seconds.
