Moods?

[gordonsetter1962]

Does anyone know if you can be both manic and depressed at the same time?  I feel really depressed but my mind is racing at a hundred miles a minute.  I'm confused!  I feel like I should be doing more but don't have the energy to do anything.

Just came off a mixed state. Not a fun feeling at all. It felt like I was having a ping pong championship going on in my head! My head was swingin'!  Make sure your under doctors care and listen to his or her instructions very carefully. Your basically like a kite flying high and the string breaks.....you don't want to crash into the ground. You want to land safely in one piece.

Be brave....only stubborn people apply...

It's going to be a bumpy ride....hang in there!

I feel this way a lot. It is exhausting. Know your limits and don't beat yourself up over it. That makes it worse!

Yes, you can absolutely feel this way. It is called a mixed state. Are you anxious too?
Depression can feel that way, you can race on and on in your head but in a depressed, anxious, obsessive way. I know I did it for an entire summer.

Careful though, make sure you sort of track this kind of thing with your psychiatrist if you have one, because mixed states can really be hard to handle.
