I am so sleep deprived because of my mixed state. I am still manic with some depression but the mania seems to be taking over. the mirtazapine didn't help at all. I eventually fell asleep around 3:30 am then woke up hungry about 7 am. I went downstairs and ate and took my psych and blood pressure meds. then I went back up for 2 hours but didn't sleep.
my body wants to sleep but my mind has other plans. I literally forced myself to stay in bed where I proceeded to listen to film scores and podcasts all night. I was so tempted to get up and re-arrange something. being sleep deprived really sucks. and mania with depression mixed in is a catastrophe. I have energy with this mania but without the euphoria or excitement usually connected with my hypomania. my wife had to cancel dinner plans tonight because I'm a mess right now. I felt compelled to reach out to everyone on PC this morning just to update you all. I hope to try and get grounded and centered today but I know I'm gonna feel like crap all day. today is star wars day so I'll be checking a few of the films out on blu-ray. maybe that'll help.

May the 4th be with you Jedi. I echo your thoughts that there is nothing enjoyable about a mixed state. You are fighting really hard to keep it safe and under as much control as you can. I think that's awesome. I can only hope to be able to do that if I ever find myself in a mixed state again. Thanks for updating us. Keep posting if it helps.

I was told the lower the dose if it the higher the efficacy.
