Mixed episode sza bipolar type

I’ve posted about this before but still not sure if this is a mixed episode… right now I feel depressed and happy at the same time. Like I’m jamming out to happy music mostly but having suicidal thoughts. Last night I was extremely depressed after a family member triggered my trauma. I’ve been like this for months now. Psychotic off and on. Just in general unstable mood wise. Impulsive. Spending too much. Sex drive is a lot higher than normal. It’s usually non existent. Suicidal off and on. Depressed mood comes and goes but has be mostly here for several days now. I’m a little more irritable but not much. I’m on abilify maintena.

I would ask your psychiatrist.

I had extreme mood swings
in prodromal phase, years ago.

Sounds like a Mixed State.
Where depression clashes with mania.

I get these all the time.

But please discuss with your doctor @Froge

You may need your meds adjusted. It does sound like a mixed state, but I’m no psychiatrist. Make an appointment with your pdoc. It’s the only way to have hope of relief
