Slowly getting buried in darkness again. I'm super agitated all the time, my anxiety is through the roof, my mind races 24/7 (mostly about self-harm), energy level is higher than normal, but no interest in doing anything. I don't know what this is but I want it to go away. I want crawl out of my skin and run away.

DD-- I'm so sorry you're in this space. I don't know what it is either, but it sounds awful. I'm sending you some good energy, and hoping you can find some relief by talking more to someone, either here or in your r/l support system.
all the best, Randy

Sounds like a mixed episode. They are hell. Pure hell. The only thing that helps me through is drugs, either benzos if I have them or Benadryl if I don't. That and a lot of deep breathing. You just have to wait for it to pass and if it gets too bad to to the ER. I've had to be hospitalized every time unfortunately because I couldn't deal with it on my own. Maybe you're stronger than me though.

My best friend saved the night tonight. She got me out of the house with her and another friend. Long enough to have dinner/dessert and let my meds kick in and go home! Feeling a bit better.

That's exact the feeling I have when I'm having a mixed episode. I'm so sorry you're feeling this. It's horrible! I usually have to have a med adjustment when I'm going through this phase. The anxiety and wanting to crawl out of your own skin is horrendous. Hope you get to see your pdoc soon.

Saw NP today. She said and I quote: "it sounds like it is a mostly manic episode." So now I take in the AM 150 mg Effexor, 1mg risperidone, at 2PM I take 0.5 mg risperidone, and at 8PM I take 500mg DepakoteER, and 1mg risperidone. I see her again In a week at 10:45.

Hopefully the risperdal will bring you down. It helped me a lot when I had a bad manic/mixed episode last summer. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

The risperidone I've been on for a month. The DepakoteER is new. We'll see. She said to call tomorrow if I don't feel better. I'll probably wait till Wednesday and see how things go. It'll take probably more than that to see if it works anyway.

Doing ok today. This morning I woke up kinda wired. Then had breakfast and took meds, within 2-3 hours I was starting to chill out. Just woke up from a nap and feeling pretty stable.
