Hi everyone, I’m brand new and have come here mostly because I’m currently dealing with the most intense cycling I’ve ever experienced. I was diagnosed with BP1 almost 8 years ago and am by no means new to this illness. I am generally pretty stable and am well medicated. But for the past month I’ve been mostly severely depressed but I’ve also been getting spikes of hypo and sometimes even close to full-blown mania. I can’t seem to keep up with myself right now. I’m a full time employee and a full time student so I’m having to work into overdrive to keep my life from spiraling into a mess.

What advice do y’all have, if any, for dealing with mixed cycles like this? I’m at a bit of a loss right now.
