Made a thread in the bipolar forums, but eh, might as well post it here too...

My mood is swinging from euphoria to severe depression, with no triggers involved. I'd say it's rapidly swinging every 2-5 hours as of today.



I just came down from mania, so I don't know if I'm experiencing a mixed state or what, but I can't think properly... at all. No concentration whatsoever because my mind is racing with all these negative thoughts, but also racing with euphoric thoughts when "manic". (Yesterday night I was going to "save the world" and "rid it from all evil".)

I'm afraid to tell this to my therapist because I don't want to go to IP. Is there any way I can tell this to her without her sending me off? I want her to help and give me some guidance, not put me in the ER. I think if she helps me, it'll be far more useful than the ER. (I just upped my antipsychotic on Thursday... so it's not going to work instantly. ER will just be a waste of my time.) I just need some coping skills; that's all.
