Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Normally when I am manic I get happy. Very very happy. Until further along in my mania when things aren't so pleasant, you know, delusional.
Things seem different right now. My pdoc put me on celexa to get me out of the depression I was in a few weeks ago. At the lowest possible dose of 10 mg. Added it to my invega, trileptal and xanax.
I am so freaking angry and agitated at myself and everyone else that it is as my wife would say ridiculous. I'm not sleeping. Or sleeping very little. My thoughts are going a thousand miles a minute from one thing to the next. All I want to do is have sex. I'm starting to talk faster again. .
But I'm not happy. I'm not happy at all.
Am I manic? Am I just having a reaction to my new meds? What the hell is going on?
I see my pdoc tomorrow. I don't even know what to say to him.

Yeah.. I don't know. I'm just pissed off. I just posted another thread about some of my racing thoughts being about suicide. Its justI'm so pissed at the world and at myself. You know? I don't know how to make them stop.

Hi, I'm new to the forum but I wanted to reply to you. It's quite possible you're in the middle of a mixed state, as I've experienced very similar symptoms and been diagnosed as such (racing thoughts of suicide, hypersexuality, but no actual happiness - just agitation). Mixed states can be quite dangerous, as sufferers have the energy to go through with their suicidal impulses. I'm so sorry you have to feel this way, I know how frustrating it is. I hope your pdoc will be able to shed some light on the situation for you and offer you some help.

I agree with AwfulNice that it sounds like you are in the middle of a mixed state (dysphoric mania). It sounds like you have the agitation and racing thoughts of mania, combined with depression and rage. I have been battling this since the end of October. While I completely understand that you don't want to end up in the hospital, it is very important that you speak with your pdoc about what you are feeling. Your meds may be playing a role. I hope you feel better soon!
