Maybe it's a rhetorical question.
I don't know anymore I feel like I'm jumping out of my skin, but in an uncomfortable way. I feel like a coiled up spring that has no idea in what direction it's going to explode. My anxiety is at an all-time high. I am even anxious about friendships that I know are set in stone, but I'm losing faith in myself. I'm going to start driving people crazy. I feel like I need someone to just sit with me and calm me down. I am feeling overwhelmed by decisions and have no motivation to do anything. I don't know what is wrong anymore. I feel like an idiot.

Active Depression = dysphoric hypomania..... at least this is true with me and when I feel that way I get exactly the way you describe. It's like hypomania while depressed. I do suffer from a LOT of mixed episodes.... this is just how I describe them. you too, I believe, are having a mixed episode. I am here and I understand completely.

I agree with Dan, dysphoric hypomania or mixed. I get that "I'm going crazy" or "I'm losing my mind" feeling quite often and it scares me and only sends me spiraling into worse. It's very overwhelming and distressing. Everything you describe sounds exactly what I go through. You're not alone, Suga

Thank you both- and everyone that visits this post. If I am distracted and kept busy, I'm better.
Going to hospital tomorrow to sort out meds. That's also stressful. Going to try get some sleep - it's 11 pm here

Just consider it a time to take for your wellness. You won't have to worry about cleaning the house or running errands. Just use that time to focus on you and be kind to yourself. I know hospital isn't a great place, but focusing on it as a break instead of a sad place may help you get a rest.

It's wonderful that you got feedback from others who have felt the same way you do....that way you can go into the hospital knowing better what is causing the feelings you are experiencing.
Look at it as a time to rest from your life.....get away & sort through the things that have been bothering you in your life so you can go back & make the necessary changes also. Go into the hospital situation with a positive & open attitude & you will be just fine.....& even better than you have been.

It's a bit of an eye opener...
I still very emotionally detached right now, and had a $hit session with my T as I just couldn't relax and tap into my emotions. Now I've been given some meds to knock me out
