Mixed States (Mixed Episodes)

Does anyone else experience mixed mood symptoms of mania and depression at the same time?
I get these often.

They are hell.

I’m finding out that my new schizoaffective mixed type diagnosis includes these mixed mood episodes.

This describes me to a tee!

Just awful

Yes I have experienced those. It is hell. It was during my early part of days I used to go through both mania and depression, could not make sense of it and used to try hurting myself. What is the point of living was my feeling. After getting some jobs I was able to feed myself better. Now trying to feed enough to see through the day. But lot of patch work need to be done to go to the destination of completing my work in this world.

Yes I do. It often presents as agitation, because even though I’m depressed, I can’t rest. My body and mind are too activated.

Now that you’ve mentioned, prior my hospitalization I was just walking while being depressed, manic and some sort of anger.
And boy I could walk. 3 months I was just walking all day long trough the city or outside. My pedometer had a 42000 step goal and I used to go over. Walking made depression deeper since I had delusional thoughts. My mind made plans for a new spiritual religion.
I lost like 15 kg (over 30 lbs) and I got very slim and all together I thought I was getting in good shape.
