Mixed episode or mixed mania is pretty hard to explain. Psychiatrists often say you have both (hypo) mania and depression at the same time. Which well doesn't make sense.

To me mixed episodes mean:

Barely sleeping but no energy

Racing thoughts in a negative way

Loss of interest in ideas you get

Lethargy

Freaquent mood swings that make no sense

Passive aggressiveness

Tingling in your body

Electricity in your stomach

Feeling sick physically

Having energy to clean but stop abruptly because it passes

Anxiety

I guess we’ll never know 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you were actually "just being lazy", then it wouldn't bother you this much that you're not doing what you're supposed to do. Being lazy is comfortable. Struggling to get something done is very different from not caring to do it.

Stop using mental illnesses as adjectives!

You aren’t depressed. You had a bad day.

You don’t have anxiety. You’re nervous for an event.

You don’t have OCD. You like things to be tidy, like the vast majority of the population.

Your ex wasn’t a narcissist. They were self-absorbed and rude.

Similarly, your ex also wasn’t bipolar. They had mood swings and got angry, like we all do when we’re stressed.

Your classmate isn’t a psycho, or crazy, or delusional, or some other awful, ableist term.

You’re just an asshole. Unlearn your ableist language. I’m tired of being nice about it. It shouldn’t be my job to correct you.

Medication is nothing to be ashamed about. ✌️💜

HOLY FUCK I NEED TO STOP THINKING

[peachdoxie]

Intrusive thoughts are just. dumb. Like yeah I get the usual ones that are like “do this harmful thing to yourself” or like “none of your friends care about you” and it’s like fine, whatever, I deal with that crap all the time. But then there’s the ones that are like “Do a Freudian reading of Po in Kung Fu Panda​ 2.” Like wtf. What the actual…wtf brain. Why.
