I was just curious to see where everyone is at right now. Manic, depressed, mixed, stable?

I am depressed yet again. Listening to the beatles on repeat.

[~Christina]

I’m wobbling , not anything specific. Just floating.

[Daonnachd]

I just had ECT two days ago so I'm stable, but I know it doesn't work that way for everybody.

[Scooter9]

I'm depressed unfortunately... have been for the past 10 months

[HALLIEBETH87]

I'm blah. Not suicidally
Depressed but not not stable either

[Wild Coyote]

Mostly depressed, a bit agitated.

I'm stable. In the past couple of months I have been up and down, but only mildly. My last major episode was in May. I reached full blown manic, but it was of the sometimes agitated, anxious, and partly mixed type.

I have experienced a lot of stress in recent weeks, but there were no significant episodes attached to it, just periods of mild mood and energy elevation switching with the opposite. These tendencies would last only 3-4 days and then level for a bit.

I’m Stable.

[99fairies]

I'm mixed. That was why I was in the hospital last week. I'm trying to get it under control at home.

None of those options in the poll.

I have currently have psychosis outside of a mood episode according to 3 mental health professionals (and I think it's gone now, but I'm not entirely sure because I didn't notice), so I'm not stable.

As usual, I am mixed. Shooting off in 10 directions at once. Or maybe 25 directions. Due to meds, however, I am somewhat distanced from the mixed instability so I feel like I'm mixed in slow motion.

mixed, but more up than down

nice to see if i'm honest- and hey, great thread.

I think their was one like this but it got lost

[Unrigged64072835]

I'm stable but I feel depression trying to creep in. I keep kicking it to the curb.

[Guiness187055]

Have been in a good mood lately feels good to finally be stable.

[Blueberrybook]

I'm mixed, I think. Sleeping well, going too fast with some stuff, wanting to sleep more, getting anxious about finances, argh! I don't know.

I see my pdoc on Thursday. He seems to feel I spend most of my time in a mixed state, but I've only been seeing him since the end of March, so we don't know each other that well yet.

[Tucson]

I have not been able to sleep well. I want to stay up until early in the morning. I know this is not good for me. Then I find myself waking up three or four hours later. I do not know if this is part of my hypomania. I am starting to spend money when I cannot do this. I have been starting to drive recklessly. I am hypersexual. I am actually going on a dating website made up of people who like risky sex. These are people who are up to trying anything inside and outside the bedroom. Not good at all. I have never done this before. What will happen next? I am on a low dose off Depakote, but no AP.

PS The people there specify the sex they desire, and some of it is way over the top. Stuff I have only seen on TV. There are even people there in their upper sixties. I did not know sex was possible at that age. Must be on hormone replacement therapy.

[BipolaRNurse]

I'm stable after being hypomanic since mid-March. I had a recent increase in my Zyprexa dose and it's actually quieted my brain down nicely. I've always had racing thoughts no matter what mood state I was in, and now I sometimes catch myself thinking about absolutely nothing. The incessant buzzing and conversations are finally gone.

[scatterbrained04]

I've been stable a couple of months now.

[Moose72]

Im hypomanic but the new med doses are starting to work.

[xxblackrosesxx]

Mixed I guess? Maybe a bit of pychosis too?

Stable. My life "depresses" me, but it's not the BP, not real depression. I'm still getting some stuff done. Which is good because staying busy helps some in not thinking about my life...

I recently lowered one (PRN used sometimes for awhile) med and hopefully will stay ok.

[IronButterflyWings]

I'm definitely in a mixed state right now. Trying to get stable with my medications and working through some things. It seems like an uphill battle with a heavy weight on my shoulders. But at least I'm trying, and doing better than when I was in the hospital on the psychiatric ward recently.

[bpktvikesfan]

I am stable but depressed. I say stable because there are no suicidal thoughts or ideations but i just dont feel anything but blah

[Blueberrybook]

Doing a bit better, probably still a little mixed. Not wanting to do much but starting to feel better.
