My main symptoms of my mixed episode was irritability, which is the whole reason I got a doctor in the first place.

I don't get it.
If one is diagnosed 'bipolar', either I or II, and you happen to experience irritability, an ordinary emotion, in one of your ordinary days ... that gets labelled as 'mixed episode' ?

Ordinary irritable now constitutes 'an episode'?
Good grief, Charlie Brown.

When did 'feeling irritable' get kicked out of the legitimate 'normal' range of emotions?
Psychobabble labeling seems to have gotten far fetched.
I am sorry that this is so for you.
