Okay, so I've been getting treatment for... Some kind of psychiatric disorder for about a year and a half, mostly drug therapy the first half of that period and all psychotherapy the second half. Originally, it was straight MDD. Then the hospital said I was Bipolar. After that, the private psychiatrist said that it was probably Borderline Personality Disorder. Then I was hospitalized twice again, both times being diagnosed as Bipolar Disorder. With the hypomania and depression, I just consider myself bipolar, although nobody is 100% sure what I am. My therapist said he officially can't diagnose anything (since he's only a psychologist), but said that it was DEFINITELY some form of mood disorder. Over the past couple of months, I have really weird moods. I feel like I'm physically exhausted and I just can't do anything, like everything is a hassle, and I've been working about 10-15 hours a week and going to school 25 hours a week. But on the flip side, my mind honestly feels like it's hypomanic. I have so much mental motivation to do things, I NEED to start applying to colleges, but like I said, my body just doesn't want to cooperate. Does anyone know if this is possibly a sign of a mixed episode, since the ups and downs are sort of superimposed or am I just stressed or..? I honestly have no clue, and for the past month, I've been taking 200 mg of caffeine every day I work because all I want to do is sleep, but then when I try to sleep, my mind won't shut off and I end up sleeping either 8 hours (from like 1 PM to 9 PM) or from like 9 PM to 3 PM. I have Vistaril and Unisom to help me sleep, but I hate taking them because they leave me extremely tired the next morning. Sorry.. Got a little off topic. What I'm asking is, is it normal to feel hypomanic mentally and depressed physically or is that a sign of a mixed episode? Thank you for your help!
