Hi Candybear

I have BP 2 - hypomania with mixed states, was diagnosed in May this year after 10 years of depression. Suddenly everything fell into place. Sure I had euphoria, racing thoughts even when depressed (hence mixed states) for the 10 years but acually having the hypomanic episode put the tin lid on the diagnosis.

I have no family history of BP but do have a lot of depression in the family history. For me hypomania was extreme euphoria, excitability, talking fast, racing thoughts, delusional, highly sexual, spending spree (but not huge big time). Enough to be going on with anyway! Doc said it was a "waking diagnosis" so therefore means that I may never get another hypomanic episode in my life or I may do, but now I am on meds I think its highly unlikely to happen again. Taking the meds every day is highly important with BP.

As Suzy said anxiety can go hand in hand with the mixed states so I would go see your doc asap and sort this out. I am wishing you all the best and keep posting! ((((hugs))))
