I don't know what is happening to me. Spent three days what I would consider baseline. Then four hypomanic. Today I feel horrible. I am super depressed but with the energy and agitation of hypo. I want to sleep but I can't sit still. I feel like tearing my skin off. I scratched myself in class at work. I am twisting my lanyard around my neck. In class.

I feel crazy and I want to get through my day without alerting the students to my distress by accident. It's nearly impossible.

I feel like the only way to get any relief would be to hurt myself. Or sleep but I can't.

I got my pdoc appt moved up to may 16 at least.

I just want to calm the hell down.

Try to take benedryll for sleep and see if that helps.

If you take a sleep med call the office and ask if you can increase it for 2-3 days to help reset your sleep schedule. Usually sleeping can help moods stabilize. Im guessing you slept less b/c of hypomania?

Yes I am on about 4 hours a night for the last few days. I will try the Benadryl tonight. I cannot take prescription sleep meds because I get up so early for work that I can't shake them off by then.

Thanks confused.

Sounds like it could be a mixed episode. Maybe call back your Pdoc's office and basically read off what you wrote here.

Stay safe
