Usually, if I'm in what I would consider a mixed state?
I'll be feeling miserable, depressed, lonely, worthless, etc..... yet be full of energy. I won't like anything that I'm doing, but I'll be able to keep myself very busy and I can't settle down and try to relax. I'm more likely to end up irritable and snappish, and I won't be sleeping much but I will be very tired. I may end up more panicky, and any healthy eating habits will go out the window. My brain will be overthinking about EVERYTHING and it's very rarely anything nice about myself, and I will have very little focus.
On the flip side, I can sometimes (although a loooot more rarely), be in a great mood but have no energy to do anything. I might be feeling super good about myself and loving life... but I can't make decisions on what to do, so I end up doing nothing at all. I won't even feel bad about it. I just won't get anything done, and when I go "hmmm I should do something... maybe this.. or this... or this..." I still won't come up with a suitable answer for myself. Usually this is when I'll end up getting bored, yet I'll still be happy as a clam. This reallllly doesn't happen very often in my life though.
Those tend to be how it would work for me.
