I'm right in the middle of it. It sucks. Irritable, lots of energy, than no energy. Motivated to do things, then I don't want to do them. Happy then sad.

God, why us? Why have we been burdened with this horrible disease. I never know how I'll feel any day. It's a horrible roller coaster.

If it weren't for my kids, I'd have given up a long time ago. I look at ppl that make decisions, and stick with them! I envy that. I can't make a decision. Or I make one, then change my mind. Story of my life.

Sorry for ranting. Just suffering right now.
Thanks for listening

(((((( hugs)))))))

Mixed is pure hell on earth.

Can your Pdoc hit you with something heavy to knock it out ? My go to in the past has been Haldol, usually reins in my mixed within a week or so.

I hope you find relief

So sorry your are suffering through this. Mixed are the worst. Do you have support? People you can be around to distract yourself or get support. The best thing about mixed episodes is that the pass. Hang in there, check in with your treatment team and keep breathing. We are here for you.

Last fall when I was mixed. I went in for a emergency appt and walked out with RX's for Haldol and Benadryl. They saved me!

I agree, mixed episodes are the worse. I actually went IP with my last mixed episode. Have you called your pdoc? Hopefully this will pass soon.

I'm sorry you're having a tough time. Mixed episodes are the worst. I had one last week. I took a cold shower and took my night medication which knocks me out. I felt better the next morning.

Could the Wellbutrin be contributing to this?
