3 weeks ago I spent 10 in a manic episode like I have never experienced...it lasted 10 days...now, seems like I go from manic to suicidal depression to incredible rage....all in one day! It is very exhausting and I can't keep it up for much longer!Am new to this...just wondered if this is normal?

I am mainly a mixed manic, meaning I also go through huge changes in moods in just one day. Lamictal helped that.

Sounds like mixed episode to me..I'm an old hand at mixed epidodes.

Deathly depression and rage.It's very unstable dengerous place to be.Call your Pdoc ASAp,and let him know what you are experiencing.Some sleep aid or calming agent(I love my Xanax) has gotten me through many a tough night.

Hi, screwedupsue!!!
I'll be lucky if I get through writing this post without my mood shifting so, yeah!!! I'll say it's normal. Well, common, anyway!!

I got home from work at midnight, built a fire in my fireplace, had one drink, and am now not afraid, mad, or nervous about anything. (99% of it was the first fire of the season, I think..and being back in my cave)..btw...I take no meds..they tried a cocktail of junk 4 years ago...gave it all up...drugs...(even asperin seem to have no effect on me). That part sucks! But, when I finally go to bed, I will twitch, my mind will race from wild fantasy to freezing fear... then I get to do it all over again tomorrow.Rapidly losing interest in that!

They call it mixed but that just really never sounds fair to me. It should be called like Super Fantastic Ultra Ultra Rapid Cycling. Or Something. I've been Mixed since GO and it STINKS.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
