God, I can't believe I'm writing this. I am still f***ing mixed. Is the "with mixed features" part of bipolar diagnosis permanent, or does that just mean mixed has happened to you?

I am starting to think I'm stuck being mixed. If I'm not mixed, I'm a little manic or a little depressed though I do recall having times of only one or the other (particularly full mania).

Can mixed or "the with mixed features" be a part of your bipolar norm? It's starting to feel that way for me.

Does anyone know how long mixed can last? Does it have a maximum time limit?
