Hi I’m Kaitlin. I’m 25 and I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for 6years and always had the classic manic episodes or Depression. So I’ve had some bad health issues lately and have been on a ton of extra medication . I’ve felt a episode slowly creeping up and yes I know I should have prepared. I just wasn’t feeling like myself. Well like a tsunami it hit and it hit hard I was super depressed and all my normal depressed episode stuff. Well Instead of slowly coming out of it I got on a roller coaster of emotions and one second I’m angry then I’m so depressed I feel like I’ll never climb out of the dark torturous hole I fell into then I’ll jump to so sickingly happy and on top of the world that I can do anything and it’s all in a span of one day.. I’m basically a volcano of emotion and it’s a very confused one. Ive never quite done this. At least the depressed then switching to manic so fast it’s like a light switch. So maybe I’m just moody i honestly don’t know I’m just trying to hold on and not leap into the deep end. Any advice is appreciated just be nice.

That certainly sounds like it could be a mixed episode. Can you contact your pdoc to see if a med change is needed?
I'm sorry you are going through that. It's the worst feeling ever.

Welcome to psych central
 Yes it is possible to have a mixed episode, depression and mania at the same time. Please talk to your Pdoc or who ever prescribes your meds. You may need an adjustment to your meds.

Welcome to PC. I struggle with mixed episodes. They are very scary. Sometimes I also get rapid cycling, where the moods cycle rapidly between mania, hypomania, to depressed mood. When mixed, I get both the manic and depressive symptoms together, but the episodes are completely void of any euphoric symptoms.
I get complete dysphoric mania, where I am in a very dark place, terrible racing thoughts, insomnia, high energy (but in an agitated way, in contrast to feeling elated), impulsivity that causes me a lot of harm, sometimes a lot of anger, tremendous fear and feeling that the world is coming to an end, delusions, hearing things (especially at night) and sometimes dissociate. It's often the most dangerous state of Bipolar, so please get help quickly.  Sorry you're feeling this way. It's terrible experiencing this.
