okay im so lost at times. i feel like im either crazy or just dalusional. i cant tell im im happy, okay, getting better or getting worse. what im saying is, do you ever feel okay, then bad, then okay again, then horrible? i dont know if these feeling are real or im just crazy like i said. i just wanna know, what were your first sings or indications that something is seriously wrong. How did you deal with them? or do they ever go away from days, weeks, months, or minutes at a time, and then come back?
i think your describing rapid cycling through mixed states.
mixed states is when you feel more then one emotion at once. like for me i may be wanting to scream im so mad AND want to laugh at whatever because i feel so good. my body sometimes gets confused too. for example laughing during a time you should be depressed - like after a death in the family. or being so mad you cry.
rapid cycling is when you go from screaming anger to lol crazy hipper to lying on the kitchen floor crying depressed in about 5 mints.
