Just wonder..I was recently diagnosed with BP1 mixed, I was feeling ok and had moment severe I was very energized and creative etc. then a couple days after that I just woke up a bit upset which progresses to uncontrollable crying and I cried for 5 and half hours. 

Im okay now, but what is that considered? Is that a manic episode or a depressive episode? Im confused as to what a manic and low episode is supposed to be like. I just recently become more self-aware but I’m very confused on how I feel and if it’s appropriate 


I’m also taking zyprexa 5mg and it helped for a while but I don’t think it’s helping anymore..I’m starting latuda within the next month if my financial assistance application gets approved. Is this common with zyprexa? Or is the zyprexa not helping?
