Feeling a mixed episode coming on

This is the worst feeling. Irritable, short tempered, anxious, restless, can’t stay still. I feel like crawling out of my skin. My brain won’t stop. Bad thoughts. Potential events. Outcomes of hypothetical events. Everything that I can’t control pi**es me off. Wind blowing. Drivers being stupid. Gravity.

I haven’t felt like this in a long time. I hope it goes away soon.

I am sorry you are struggling. I have been through this as well. It is awful. Have you contacted your psychiatrist, by chance? If not, you might want to do that, just in case she/he wants to make a med change. Sending you positive vibes and calm.

I haven't called my Pdoc. I usually try to deal myself, but It's to the point right now where I Self Harmed the other day. It's something I haven't done in ages and I'm glad it's sweater weather where I'm at. My meds usually keep things in check fairly well, but sometimes I guess breakouts happen. Thank you for your reply.

I really do know how you feel because I've been there so many times. Please call your pdoc. No reason to suffer through this more than you already have.

I agree with the others about contacting your pdoc. A PRN may be enough to prevent a worse episode happening. There’s nothing worse than seeing a mixed episode coming and being unable to prevent it

Mixed episodes are the worst.

I'm going to give my doc a call today, and take some Seroquel. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it just makes me sleep.

Yes, please, DO call your Pdoc, @Jester's Rags! Let us know how it goes if you can and want to! I hope it passes soon and that you'll feel MUCH, MUCH BETTER SOON! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Jester's Rags, your Family, your Friends, your Pdocs and ALL of Your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK, MY DEAR, SWEET, KIND, AWESOME AND WONDERFUL FRIEND?!

How's it going Jester's Rags?

I’ve been taking Seroquel today and my mind hasn’t been racing. I’m better than I have been the past week. I feel like I’m wound up a little less tightly.

Thank you very much for asking.

I’m with Bethrags. How are you today? Thinking of you Jesters Rags.

I'm so glad that you're doing a bit better. Sometimes prn works well.

Thank you all for the kind words and support. It's nice to have people who understand what you're going through.
