Yes, it started as unipolar depression (arguably/likely schizodepressive), then BP-II and finally, ("Joy! Beautiful sparks of God!") BP-I or schizomania (diagnosed with schizomania).

I think antidepressants/anxiolytics don't mix well with a dysphoric mania propensity. I'd call it emotional-agoraphobic (cf. -claustrophobic) anxiety. No direction. Not really stuck but (still) overwhelmed.

Of course you may have that regardless, but I think/believe (in a way) numbing yourself, emotionally, can make it worse.

You may be basically, stuck in a moment: between mania and depression. You have to choose a direction. Probably no good staying there.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
