It stinks having mixed states. The past couple weeks while working with my Psychiatrist to find a decent med combo, I've experienced hypomania doing things like spending too much money, not needing sleep, researching one thing to another and feeling high energy and optimism...
Several times during this mania I felt insecure, unable to focus, despairing and out of control having crying spells.

What do us mixers do besides taking our meds to ease this Gemini mind in non-stop stews of craziness?
Yesterday I started on lithium
I am remaining hopeful

I am also going through a mixed state, I hate it.

Remaining hopeful, as you stated, is important.

I remind myself that it won't last forever - things will change. They have to as that is how bipolar works.
