Dear Friends, thank you ALL, SO MUCH for sharing your hearts, and the terrible expereinces you've gone through. Some parts of your stories/reports sound somewhat similar to each other. But if I'm reading these things correctly, every person expereienced mixed episodes at least somewhat differently? Unless than can be milder than what you are describing, I can tell I've never had a mixed episode. Some parts of what people have written sound like me, but not nearly so intense. Theseus, I totally relate to rage and depression. These are what I has A LOT, before I got meds and good psychiatric and therapy professional help.
