Thanks all. After he chilled a bit he took a bath and laid down for awhile, and then was a completely different person! I think maybe layers are being peeled back. He said last night before he went to sleep he was thinking about school and about how his life isn't going to turn out good. Worried he'll be a homeless person. I don't really know why he thinks that, I just know that he hates going to math and believes that everyone at school is judging him. Probably paranoia. I try to get more out of him, but he just gets quiet.
Faerie Moon - he has these episodes every now and again, but this one was super intense. He's hit his head on the wall and thrown himself on the floor and all that, but I've never seen him bring himself to the point of bleeding. Thanks for sharing your insight. I think you guys might be experiencing very similar things. When I'm off my meds I spend alot of time in a mixed state, angry and aggressive, so I get how terrible it is and I think you are right on - that's what this is, though he's cycling very quickly then. I can't believe I can't spot the exact same thing I go through. Ugh!
