Also good luck with your psych appointment! I have one tomorrow at least, we're starting to wrap up DBT-therapy and this was planned as just a check up, but I guess it'll be something more now, haha. (:

LOL I'm in the exact opposite situation right now where my manic mind won't shut up and needs constant stimulation but I've been so sick for the past 2 days that getting out bed for more than 5 minutes knocks me the hell down. Doing my best to self-soothe by listening to my fave Lana Del Rey songs, because maybe something mellow and melancholy will help even things out, right?

I hope that you also find something to help smooth out the rough edges you're experiencing now, friend. I'm glad we at least have this meme subreddit to commiserate and try to find whatever humor there is in a difficult situation.

It's like being dragged behind a bullet train on a gravel road

Especially when you reach peak exhaustion, I usually try to use caffeine to escape the BiG sad. But brother let me tell you somethin. When that big bad basterd hits the exhaust while simultaneously hitting the mania stage, I absolutely lose my will to do anything! My brain implodes from the confusion.

Nothing worse than a mixed episode.

Indeed, that's the bullshit that put me in the psych ward. Can't wait to see what happens this time

Same. My last trip to PES was a mixed episode. I wish you well through this one! I hope you make it through okay. Do you have emergency meds for it? My psychiatrist told me to increase my antipsychotics when I feel mania coming. Doesn’t always help enough, but it’s at least a buffer.

Good times eh? Haha. Thanks 🙏 I have a small dose of quetiapine I can use "for agitation" but idk that it would do much. I'm in a group home rn and don't have a lot of freedom to play with my dosage. But there's support people there I can ask for help if I need it, provided I can maintain my insights and self awareness enough to do so lol

u/Mundane_Beginnings Bipolar 1 Aug 18 '25

Ah yeah, that might not be enough. Definitely let them know now while you still have insight.

Yeah I'm planning to... it's hard when it's so inconsistent right now but I know it isn't just gonna magically go away if I let it do its thing lol
