Hello all!

This is my first post. I have been diagnosed as BP II with GAD. This diagnosis came later in life. All this time I thought the problem was with me personally.

I would like to share my experience with what I term as agitated depression. I would like to compare this to what all of you have experience with this similar state of mind.

I have had agitated episodes that go on for possibly a period of weeks. I feel sad, fatigued, angry, very restless, and easy to irritate into outbursts. When laying down, I do not want to get up. When I have to get up, I am angry about it. This is not how I normally am.

Is this familiar to anyone? Have any of you experienced this type of depressed mood? What are your thoughts on my condition when I experience this "state of mind?
