I think that you are asking very valid questions and the people here are very supportive so don’t worry about anything being silly.

I find a lot of my manic episodes to be more mixed. I get filled with intense irritability and anger over everything. It’s not all euphoric all of the time. Timelines of mixed episodes are fuzzy for me so I don’t have a lot of detail in that regard. All I know is that they are horrible.

As for pms I find that it seems to exaggerate my symptoms. If I’m weepy, I get super sad. If I’m irritable, i get intensely angry.
