      I don't know 'mixed mania' specifically, but Bast gets into a 'mixed state', in which she flips rapidly (like, within minutes) between manic and depressed.
      She'll be climbing the walls in agitation and boredom, unable to settle to any task yet bored with not doing anything; then suddenly (with no warning) curled up in depression and the certainty that she's useless.

      Meanwhile, she knows, on some level, that all of this mental anguish is nothing more than illness. Yet she can no more control it than one can control sneezing and coughing when a cold is making your abdomen ache from overuse of the muscles.

      (note: this description is based on being outside looking in.)


      If cewfa's problem is anything at all like this - yeah, she has my sympathy.

      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

        He, I'm a he

        It's kind of like this. I got back from swimming at the Y and I felt almost euphoric and choking down tears at the same time.

          Sounds unpleasant.

            Bi-Polar is generally, and I am severely bi-polar.

              Sorry about that. He, then.

              And yes, Bast hates mixed state too.

                Today is better I suppose. Day has just started, but still no motivation to do anything.
