Hi, I am moving and going through some medication adjustment and have been experiencing episodes more severe than I'm used to, and this is really confusing me. About a month ago I had the most severe manic episode I've had, I could barely eat or sleep for about 2 weeks, typical symptoms of feeling sort of hyperactive and wanting to talk and write and do various activities constantly but just a lot more intense than I've experienced before. Since that ended I've been feeling more stable, but yesterday morning I felt my mood shift and thought I was experiencing mania again. I had a lot of energy and was laughing and shaking and talking a lot, my senses felt heightened too. I almost cried for the first time in a while because the sunlight on the leaves looked so bright, you know? But about 10 hours later I started feeling anxious and paranoid, suddenly my energy dropped a lot and I actually fell asleep for a few hours. I woke up having the low and repetitive feelings commonly associated with my depression. Now a couple hours later I am feeling my energy increasing again. I have never oscillated between such extremes so quickly. I don't know what to make of it. Is this what a mixed episode is like?
