Yeh technically BP2 has no mixed state as by definition (DSM) a mixed state is both depression & mania not hypomania but BP2 mixes it up too, in fact the whole reason I sought help was due to a dysphoric hypomania. Most uncomfortable experiences ever. I self harmed, was suicidal, anxious, restless, irritable, angry & aggressive & couldn't sleep even tho I desperately wanted to to escape myself. I also felt driven to do something, anything, but couldn't figure out what to do, like I didn't have the concentration to be content???
