Sometimes certain ones are known for causing bad interactions. For example, some antidepressants mixed in can definitely contribute. I know Abilify also caused me similar agitation. It may be that you are having effects of a specific interaction that worsens your symptoms.
Sometimes I find fast pacing, rocking, and appropriate music to be therapeutic in these times.
Sending support your way, if you need to talk feel free to reach out, many of us are more than willing to be a sounding board.

Thanks for the words of support.
My pdoc has me steering far away from antidepressants - I don't handle them well at all. I've actually been doing really well on my meds, haven't had an episode in months and then it was very mild. My last really bad episode was last year around this time. I think a huge trigger for me is the holidays and the weather change. Just 'cuz you asked, I take Vraylar, Lamictal, and Seroquel.
Today kinda sucks. I just want to sleep. I didn't sleep well last night. I have tons of things to do today and have zero motivation to do them, plus I just feel too distracted. I have to socialize with people and they are all just annoying the hell out of me. I feel like a raw nerve and I hate the feeling.
My one goal for today is to spend just one hour working on coursework for my degree.
