Depression:
My thinking is overwhelmingly negative. If anything frustrates me, I end up thinking about death. I won't talk to anyone because I believe everyone hates me. I don't want to leave the house or even open the windows. It takes forever to get ready in the morning. I feel dazed and foggy, yet anxious. I forget stuff. I can't think. I'm hopeless. I ruminate on every flaw. I feel intensely guilty that my family has to deal with me.

Hypomania:
Everything is amazing, I'm brilliant, and I accomplish huge projects with intense focus. I clean everything. I want to change things, improve them. I have enough energy to do whatever I want. Sleep seems like a complete waste of time. Everyone else moves too slow, it irritates me. I talk too much and laugh too loud. Everyone thinks I'm fascinating and wants to be my friend.

Mixed:
I can't look at people's faces because it's too intense. I feel electric pressure inside my body. I have vivid thoughts of the power inside my body blowing up and shattering all the glass around me. My senses are turned way up - light is too bright, sounds are too loud, air feels sharp. I get paranoid and angry. I want everyone to get away from me. The world is so intense and negative that it feels abusive and unfair. I want to fight everything.
