My experience has been that any combination of moods is possible. Everyone has their own unique bipolar and I think over time the disease can change. Different moods overlapping at the same time. Those moods changing in a few minutes.... Its an awful disease. Take care.
Same way as someone can have a bite of a shitty unhealthy cheeseburger with super nutritious lettuce and tomatoes. Or how someone can be super efficient and successful but addicted to drugs.
when I have a mixed episode i become all dramatic and angry. ever since I have been on a mood stabilizer and antipsychotic this intensity has greatly reduced. Since I am so open about my illness I actually posted a video on my channel of various mixed episodes I have been dealing with: th-cam.com/video/GTVbJULM000/w-d-xo.html Little sleep, angry, irritable, manic, and hopelessness at the same time.
So what about the people who deal with major depression / anxiety alone but go into mixed states(feeling high but agitated) on SSRI's? I deal with that and don't have a clear 'bipolar' diagnosis.
Im still confused. I have be diagnosed with bipolar. But my moods go back and forth. But they happen fast. I can be up in the morning having a good day, than for no reason im depressed and want to go to bed. Once i lay down for 30 mins, i will feel good again and get in the shower and start to put on my makeup. But in the middle of putting on makeup, i will feel depressed again and wash it off and crawl back into bed. Other times i have been excited to go to the store. (I coupon) and i spend all this time preparing my shopping trip, and one time i was in the car driving to the store when i had to stop at a stoplight. While i waited for the light to turn green, i just became depressed for no reason and went back home. I didnt want to shop. I also tend to make lists before i go to bed and i have plans to do everything on my list, but i usually only end up doing like 3 out of the 30 things I have listed. I will re-write the list again the next night, telling myself im going to get it done the next day. Yet it dosent happen. This happens to me ALL THE TIME. And its drives me insane!!!! :( Im on a mood stabilizer and 2 anti-depressants. Today i feel good. But anything can set my mood off. LIke if someone gets snappy or is rude to me, i will be depressed. I just want to be normal. Im 36 years old and feel like im a irresponsible teenager whos a burden on everyone. I just want to be normal.... i say that all the time to myself... living this way is so hard and i tend to think suicidal thoughts. But i have 2 kids who are 16 and 14. They dont live with me, but there still my kids and i need to be here for them. I dont know what to do... sometimes i cant take living with this... i literally feel like im going crazy.

I'm not a professional but it sounds like it could be Bipolar Disorder with rapid cycling. Possibly ultradian. May be something to look into to make more sense of things.
I feel the same. I'm 37. This made me cry. I could copy and paste this text to my bf and take out the thing about your kids ages and he would think it's me. My 17 yr old is a senior and worried to go to college she's worried about how I'll take care of her sister whose 8. Also my daughter. I am so unreliable bc of this that I don't even want friends bc I feel so much pressure when no one understands. I even used to coupon too lol but my ptsd is too bad to go in stores now.
I think it is irresponsible of you to state that bipolar 2 doesn’t involve any mania. Hypomania is a real thing and while it generally doesn’t involve psychosis it can still ruin people’s lives.
I feel all spectrums with in minutes
Big hug
Sometimes, antidepressants can trigger mixed episodes.you should monitor your symptoms very carefully if you take antidepressants.
Lol were antidepressants put me in this awful mixed state that never ends

How can someone in a manic episode have psychomotor retardation?

Is bipolar mixed an actual diagnosis that you are bi polar.
I am 17 and I have bipolar one with mixed features my psychiatrist diagnose me with it
did your psy presecribe ssri. these drug can cause mania
I think it is irresponsible of you to state that bipolar 2 doesn’t involve any mania. Hypomania is a real thing and while it generally doesn’t involve psychosis it can still ruin people’s lives.
