I've experienced that. It's a mixed episode or very rapid cycling. I always noticed that my manias would exist with a sense of exhaustion. Having all that going on is very hard on us. No, it doesn't make sense but there it is just the same. Lithium and anti-psychotics have always done the trick for me. Call your doc for some help. I've never had this go away by itself, or wanted to wait and see if it would!

I was never dx with mixed episodes though. But then I have read before that dx can change?

It's a horrible feeling, I feel like I could actually do ANYTHING and not care! Luckily I don't live alone though and trying to entertain my hyper side by having about 5 different internet windows open and doing lots of different things at once....with the tv on...

O_O SENSORY OVERLOAD!!!

I suffer from episodes like this often. Must be in the air today. Similar situation going on here. Don't get hung up on the whole dx thing. My docs say it really doesn't matter as long as we treat properly. That is what is important. I know that I am mixed and rapid. My pdoc doesn't see it that way right now, though.
If it is too much call your doc and get the help you need. Before you do self harm. You are worth too much to do that.

I have been through this as well...Try to do something that is easy and calming. Maybe just a long shower. If it's too bad, maybe you should call your doctor. Please don't hurt yourself, that won't help. When I go through it, pure exhaustion ends up winning over and I pass out. You are in my thoughts and I wish the best for you.

Hugs to you xBlissx, I pray that you start feeling better soon. Medications please do your job!!! Don't worry God will help you, he helps us all (he loves beepers!). Regards, Kiko

bipolar disorder is progressive if not treated, or if not adequately treated. Problem is, is there ANY treatment that is adequate enough to TRULY arrest this disease? IDK. Point is, anyone with BP can develop rapid cycling or mixed episodes. But, you are not alone. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

Welcome to my world!!! I live in a mixed state almost all of the time and am an ultra fast cycler!!! Today, for instance, I really wish I was dead, and yet I'm able to laugh at funny things and am greatly enjoying a show on TV right now and am also on two posting sites at the moment as well as listening to music on YouTube and Googling other things, as well!!!
There's a LOT of bad things going on in my life right now, and it's the high stress times like this that seem to bring out the 'all emotions at once' state the most!!
Good luck!!! I feel your pain. And joy. And ... EVERYTHING!!!! LOLOL!!!!!

Thank you everyone.

I was taken off all my Bipolar meds when I went in for treatment of anorexia. They said they couldn't see any symptoms of Bipolar so they wouldn't treat me for it. (WELL DUH!!! I was ON medication!!)

I was told the same thing about my ADHD, and I was on meds for it. They are so stupid.

AHHH stupid people can't make up their minds!

I'm actually physically shaking :S :S :S
