Have you ever had a Manic episode? Because this sounds like a Manic Episode, not a Depressive Episode. Anger, not eating, not sleeping, refusing meds, blowing off classes or work...textbook Manic symptoms.

Might be good to check in with your Pdoc and get your Med Cocktail looked at so you can get this under control before it gets any worse.

Do not think it is a true manic episode been there so many times it cannot be counted this is a depressive episode but different than usual or mixed not sure as for meds does not really matter if I take them, or not they do not help much and cannot be raised anymore This is a new feeling I do not have any reason to be angry except that there is no remission for me I am bipolar for life and i do not know of any other way to be so ok with that but just wish it would lift before something happens I do not want to lose my temper and blow my housing

A sudden shock to the system, such as stopping meds, can cause mood swings, all by itself.

Hope you go to your craft club, as usual. Keeping to a routine as far as possible helps me. It's okay if your performance is less than par. Weirds happen.

off meds 2 days now eating better and sleeping Having paradoxical reactions to meds these meds make people eat and gain weight but I stopped eating lost appetite and lost weight never gained much anyway so they do not work on me the way they do for other people everyone is different they thought I was not taking it because I lost or never gained weight They are not working the same way and they did not do much but now they have really stopped working right I am taking a vacation the intensity may increase but I am watching every sign of mania so i have to be careful but I am not just taking meds I am taking them the way my body needs them and when and how they work besat for me They cannot increase or decrease add or change them anymore I have been on them a long time and know my body and its limitations the minute I have trouble real trouble sleeping then I will take them but for now everything is going better feeling better eating better and not spending money the way I was so far so good watching everything though this is dangerous but the only way to get back to normal for me moodswings
