I never get excessively happy or high. I always get irritable mixed with suicidal depression. This is the "mixed’ state. I get excessively angry and irritable along with depression and suicidal feelings. And this state can last a long, long time in me. The drug that seemed to help me come out of this condition the most was 200 mg of Seroquel. That was like a miracle drug for my mixed state.

I am sorry @Schizy.
I too suffer from mixed state episodes, I tend to make poor decisions. It’s a really dangerous time for me. Thankfully my moods are fairly stable at the moment. The pendulum is swinging from mild depression to mild hypomania throughout the day and very rarely agitation.
The worst mixed state episode I can remember having I was standing in my neighbors yard swinging a sword and threatening to kill his guest because she said the f word to my 10 year old daughter on the playground. I was ranting and raving about being a ninja or some shite like that. Poor judgement indeed.

Laugh out loud. I tend to make really bad decisions in this state too.

Worst decision I ever made, in this state, was to throw a full glass of soda pop on a male cashier because I thought he threw my change at me. When he confronted me about it, I decided to fight him. Physically. I am female. Of course I lost the fight. He didn’t punch me. But, I punched him and threw his glasses on the floor. He grabbed my coat and wouldn’t let me go. Funny thing was, he insisted that he didn’t throw my change at me. Did I hallucinate it?
