Is there anything else that helps when you feel like this? people say do calm meditation/breathing etc.
often what helps me the most during ups with intense energy/agitation is to get a good hard workout in to release some of that intense energy.

Thanks, daladico. I took my morning medications about 3 hours ago at around 7:30 am. I took the PRN Seroquel iR about 20 minutes ago. My morning meds do now include 50 mg XR. Otherwise, they are not sedating (Tegretol XR, Lamictal, and other stuff). It's like the Seroquel is hardly even touching what ails me.
I know I should reach for some other coping tools. I'm afraid hard exercise is not an option, because my right ankle is pretty well injured. I think I'm transitioning into a mixed state because when I think of "pleasant" things I don't want to do them, either. Like baking. I don't think I could concentrate on that and if something fell on the floor, I'd probably scream and scare the handyman away. Maybe I'll ask Hubby to talk to me about something pleasant. Sometimes I laugh amidst what my husband calls "fnuk" attitude and fury. Fnuk is a Czech word without an good equivalent in English. Something like "Phooey!"
Thanks again for pushing me to think about other coping tools.
