The only way I was able to deal with my mixed state was to use Benadryl to keep me calm, which I don't recommend (I used waaaay too much). However taking the recommended dose might help take the edge off. I also exercised a lot to burn off energy - I hate running but I went running every night. Running would help me manage my anger.

Honestly each mixed state ended in a hospitization for me because I could not keep myself safe. Good luck to you and KNOW YOUR LIMITS. If you feel unsafe bite the bullet and go to the ER. At the very least they can give you Ativan or something to help you calm down.
