I'm not sure if this has been discussed before or not. I'm trying to figure out if what I'm going through right now could be a mixed episode. I've got energy not overly happy but tons of energy and if I'm not physically doing things I'm getting really short and temperamental. As I'm doing things I'm happy. But depressed thoughts creep in. Really dark thoughts keep creeping in. And what scares me is that I have energy that I could do some stuff. I don't know. I'm confused and scarred.

Could be mixed , certainly possible.... Can you get in touch with your Pdoc tomorrow ? maybe a med change .. Until then use all your coping skills and know that Bipolar cycles do just that cycle ..

Ugh, mixed episodes are the WORST. Run, do not walk to the first mental health provider you can find, even if it's your county mental health department. You can always find a psychiatrist later when you're better, in the meantime get seen ASAP.
Wishing you the best. Please keep us posted.

I don't know if it's a mixed episode and I've ben snowed in not able to get out of the driveway got 4 days. I finally got out today and had to park down the street because I can't physically clear my driveway of the apartment I live in. I've got a therapist appt on friday which I might be late for depending on roads but I'm going. Pdoc is still in limbo. I keep being told one thing and my insurance another. It's making this whole thing even worse. I don't even want to bother with any of this crap anymore. Blah...

Could it be a bit of cabin fever? How are you feeling now? Have you got a journal or anything to help you through?

I'm not leaning towards cabin fever because it started before I got frozen in. I haven't been journaling can't sit still long enough to get into it. I've been trying meditation. No real results yet, but I'm trying. My therapist keeps telling me to find my triggers for the outbursts. I don't see any. I know that doesn't mean there aren't any. Today I feel off. I don't know how else to explain. My had is a fuzzy mess. I'm wide awake but I'm not focusing. My thoughts are all over the pace. I am going to try meditation at work on my break if I can to try and center. I just hope that some if my thoughts don't get blurted out seeing as I work in retail and I'm already annoyed with people in general today.

The mixed state just stinks. All you can really do about them is get to the doctor ASAP and pray to be medicated right.

I'm the cause of everything. I'm the reason my spouse and I are fighting. I'm always the reason. I'm annoying her. I'm trying to understand what I'm doing so I'm asking and it's just making it worse. I want to go away. Where I can't cause anymore pain. But I can't I'm not allowed to. Days and days it's been. I made the good things happen at work. It's always because of me. I want to stop being the reason. why can't I understand? Why can't I stop being the reason. I want to go run a million miles too much energy to be contained. I'm being pulled in two different directions at the same time. Stretched between the two polar opposites. I feel like I'm two stuffed inside one. Squished together each trying to make the other one disappear, but now is when they're blended. Worst aspects of each forced to coexist and work together or suffer the consequences. Not blending so the consequences have fallen. Deal with it or.... Pdoc please work out. I can't do this anymore. Not by myself. Need balance. Overwhelmed. Little sleep here I come. Love hate relationship. Jumping up and down trying to beat the beat down to no avail.
