Right now depressed would beat mixed. I was diagnosed with severe mixed 3 1/2 weeks ago and I've been all over the place since (and for some time before). I cry randomly, I get mad randomly, I pout like a 2 year old, my anxiety is unbearable, the moods are everywhere, it's just not good. Sine going off my Seroquel is likely to cause mania and my manias are dysphoric and almost always turn mixed almost immediately it would be better to be depressed going into that than to start with a boosted mood. And really depression is generally the easiest thing for me to handle. Mixed and dysphoria aren't easy; depression sucks and I hate it too but it doesn't feel as pulled apart as the other 2. I get euphoria for about 2 days every 3 or 4 years so mania/hypo just isn't a good thing for me.
