Boyfriend just pointed out to me I'm in a mixed episode triggered by this awful vacation. He's right. Mind going too fast to explain other than its not good.

Need hugs.

Go easy on yourself and be acutely aware of triggers. Take a step back if things get too much. Don't let yourself get into a position where you are overwhelmed, as I find we tend to act very extremely in those cases.
Make sure you get enough sleep.
I'm glad your boyfriend picked up on it - ask him to voice any concerns as you go along, as this will give you more time to take corrective actions

Ty for replies. My god, I feel absolutely HORRIBLE. Haven't had a mixed episode in a long time. Cannot sleep, want to rip my hair out, agitated, bad thoughts....and still on this vacation. Supposed to go on a three hour luncheon train ride today. Bf's father set it up, it's really expensive and can't be cancelled. Ugh. He just doesn't get bipolar, at all.

Good news is I'm still taking meds, haven't done anything off the charts, not psychotic. Boyfriend taking care of me the best he can. I'll call pdoc if this is still going on when I return home.

I have gone through this before. Pdoc says it's my "default" mood state. I'll make it through. But this sucks, big time. Using everything in my toolbox to pull through this...no hospital, no self-harm, etc. I'm white-knuckling it, big time.

Thanks for reading. I can support you guys when I'm better.

I really feel for you. (((HUGS))) Traveling is stressful already, and during a mixed episode it is pure hell, and I've been there before when on a trip. It's good to hear that your boyfriend is supportive of you. A trigger of mine is being around people who agitate me further by making me feel crazier than I already feel when I'm in a mixed state. Being in a mixed episode is horrible and can feel everlasting, but this too shall pass.

I'm so glad I got out of my funk. I almost drove myself to IP a few times. Can you call pdoc when you get home for a med adjustment? I'd even call while on vacation to see if there's anything they can do now like call in a script where your at. I know most times you need to be seen but my pdoc does it for me sometimes if I'm doing bad. Hang in there and feel better ((hugs))
