This is how I feel. I feel like I’m depressed yes manic but not as intense as each one normally is. I take lithium an just started Abilify and I feel like I’m inside my own body screaming while the rest of the world doesn’t hear me. Is this the way normal feels? I’m scared, and lost, and I’m angry with my therapist and doctor. I don’t know why I’m even here. I’ve never felt more alone. I just don’t know.

No that’s definitely not the way “normal” feels. I e felt stable and that’s not it.

I agree with wildflower. That doesn't sound normal.
Sometimes abilify can trigger these feelings because it isn't uncommon for it to cause mixed episodes or mania. Were you feeling this way before starting abilify? Example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2877620/ |

Doesn't sound "normal" to me, especially if you're suffering so much. Sounds more like a mixed state (not that I can diagnose you, this is just from my own experience).

That sounds a bit like my mixed state. I'm newly diagnosed an just beginning to stabilize.
When my mixed state started, I felt like there was a howler monkey in the back of my head screaming continuously. I don't think he ever stopped to breathe even. That's part of how my mixed felt. Now after my meds are starting to stabilize me, he spends a fair amount of time picking his toenails and eating a banana. I think that's about normal for me. (the monkey is a metaphor. I know he's not really in there, it's a way I think about it, kind of separates the "ill" from "me." |

That isn't normal. You might want to give your pdoc a call.
