When was your last mood episode?

I'm currently pulling out of a depression. Mostly out of it.

I had mania right before it, so both depression and mania have been very recent. Mixed was IDK how long ago... Probably August/September 2015?

OK. Granted. I'm manic right this minute. Being like this for the last three days. The program to play poker is messed up. They got problems. Not me. I checked every connection 100 times. That gets on my nerves.

I think I am amidst a minor mood situation now; likely brought on by a med withdrawl (yes doctor's orders). exactly a year ago I wasted away an entire summer in the hospital.

I would say my symptoms are milder compared to before my medications, but I am still suffering through a mixed episode. I would say it started about a week ago.

I'm stable right now. Had a pretty decent hypomanic episode in the early spring following a mild depression in the winter, but that's just my seasonal pattern---I could set my calendar by it. I'm pretty much down to two episodes per year, which is a vast improvement over what used to be rapid cycling.

Came out of a severe mixed episode suddenly 5 days ago. Feeling good. So wonderful to finally be well again.

I'm not sure. My insight can be poor, unfortunately...unless I'm in a deep depression. I have other diagnoses, too. Several, actually...no personality disorder but anxiety disorders, stuff like that. So it can be hard to tell.

I don't get depressed very often.

Had a 1 month depressive episode about 2 months ago now. I had been stable for 2 years prior to that. Ironically, at the time I got depressed, I had been lamenting my lack of hypomania's, and then bam! I got depressed. Ironic in a twisted way... That's NOT what I wanted!

Was severely depressed from Christmas to about mid February. Been stable since then!

I'm trying desperately to pull myself together. Currently sitting in my therapists waiting room waiting for my appointment.

I feel I'm experiencing both symptoms of hypomania and depression concurrently, so I guess it's sort of a milder mixed episode. Definitely different from the horrific "true" mixed manias. However, some of the days where I am severely depressed really concern me (like earlier today). Then, the hypomania is mixed in, creating even more anxiety, because I'm bent on making all these elaborate plans and some people have a hard time keeping up with me. I'm going on a trip soon, and want to come up with a plan with my pdoc without having to do all these last-minute med switches that could ruin my trip based on it being new and the side effects that come along with it, so I'm hoping I'm comfortable with her plan.

I'm very impatient with people lately and questioning their loyalty to me, but maybe I'm overextending myself. I'm also dreading work and hope I can push through tomorrow. I gave myself a few days off to recouperate, but I still feel I'm going back into the flames. Well, at least after tomorrow and the next day, I'm off for a couple of days. Wish me luck though, because my confidence isn't there....and *hugs* to you.

Currently coming off of out of control mania. The week before that it was depression. I've been all over the place the last few months. This little chart that I have to keep for my pdoc looks like a scatterplot.

I feel like I've been in constant episodes lately. I'm in some kind of mixed state right now but I've had depression and mania both recently. I hope I get my meds sorted out soon.
