Depressive state: I sleep a lot, lose pleasure in most (if not all) activities, less active, no longer experience joy, gravitate towards depressing songs and movies (although this is a tendency of mine at baseline...but it's even more so when depressed), have difficulties focusing, hopelessness, isolation.

Hypo: increase in activity, obsess over certain activities, increase in sex drive/goes online to find sex partners, less sleep than usual (although Seroquel helps with this), sometimes irritable and say things I don't mean

Mania: feels invincible, racing thoughts, agitation, impulsivity, poor decision making, "chatter" in my head before sleeping, feeling unstoppable, overactive, goes beyond hypomania where symptoms are more pronounced

Mixed: sometimes delusional/paranoid, mood is extremely dark, SI, hopelessness, impulsivity, racing thoughts, constant need to talk to others about how scared I am that the state of mind will never end, sleep problems, irrational ideas, becomes extremely difficult to function, put of control anxiety, feeling trapped
