I had one thankfully only lasting a week before I was medicated out of it.
Possible trigger:
I barely made it through. I'd be dead right now if it weren't for my friends' intervention. I can't stop thinking about it. It was so horrible. I have never been in that bad a state before. I can't imagine what a prolonged mixed state must be like. I'm better now but I feel so messed up from the whole experience. The staff didn't seem to care. I was a total mess and the patients were giving me hugs and helping me out and they were really nice. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It was horrible.

I’m sorry this happened to you. I’ve had the same and you’re right, it is hell. I haven’t had one in a few years thank god but whenever I do you can best believe I need to be hospitalized. I’m glad you had a friend intervene and that the patients were nice even if the Staff wasn’t.

Yes, mixed states are pure hell. I’m so sorry you had to endure such a severe episode and the hospitalisation that followed. It can be very traumatic so be gentle on yourself as you recover. I had a severe mixed episode last October. Yelled at my T and pdoc which got me dragged into hospital. I was there four weeks. Meds didn’t bring me down so I had ECT. I calmed down after that but am still a bit off, and very traumatised. Just saying so you know others have been there too. I hope you remain stable and never have to go through that again.

I have a few mixed episodes a year. They suck. I try to catch them early and take some Ativan and zolpidem for sleep until they subside.

I am sorry you have gone through this. Sounds quite traumatizing. So glad you are feeling better now!
 I hope you will continue to feel better.  WC
