My thoughts are racing so fast that I just can't type fast enough to keep up with the cacophony. It's immensely maddening. Honestly, if I had to pick between a mood episode or a psychotic episode I'd pick the psychosis. I know how to cope with the psychosis better. When I'm manic/mixed/depressed I feel so out of control. It's ugh, I don't even have words. All my words are running through my brain so fast I can't pick them out and actually write them out. ****.
Yeah mixed episodes SUCK!! My old therapist asked me what I would rather, mixed or the deep dark depressions. It's a toss up...

What helps me when I'm mixed is to write and write and write. Also guided meditations and listening to healing music. One of my favorites is Sara McLaughlin Angel. I will light candles, cry and listen to tat song over and over. Oh and drink decaffeinated teas. I really like Bengal spice.

It's hard bc the one minute I'm pissed, then the next I'm crying. I feel ur pain.

What mood stabilizer are u on?
Thanks for this!
