thanks for all of the suggestions and helpful comments.
I think these episodes are known as mixed states...we have someone in my DBSA group who has this. Difficult to treat.
It is possible to both at the same time. Happy but overwhelmed and feel like you are going to cry at the same time. When I'm hypo-manic I don't sleep but when I'm depressed I do so when I'm mixed I can't sleep but I'm so tired but I'm hyper and ha...
When you have it during the day is it when you are by yourself, are you bored, are you doing something specific or have you just finished doing something? If it is when you aren’t busy, or not with people, then you need to stay busy or stay with p...

I am so miserable. I am in the middle of a crazy some episode, not even sure which kind. I am totally paranoid at night expecting horrifying experiences trying to get to sleep and bad dreams. I can't even tell what kind of episode I am suffering a...
I also have a problem knowing if I am manic or depressed as I get so many mixed signals. It seems that the labeling makes it even harder for me to tell the difference, which is really weird since it is supposed to help.
My pdoc won't put me on an antidepressant. I am on Lamictal, Abilify, and Keppra.

I have been diagnosed for about 8 years now. I am wrestling with the havoc I have left behind me.
