Chaotic-neutral Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 How can i tell if i have a mixed episode or just worsening in anxiety/compulsion + depression? I cant tell at all?? This is how i feel right now: - Cant sleep, too much energy - Not happy at all!! just anxious and very annoyed. - Compulsive productivity. Produced 30+ pages in one week, always need to write something. Done all the schoolwork in the last to week for the next 3 months. Not like hypomania, because im not driven by creativity, but by compulsion. - Physical sensations with anxiety, dizzy, tingling, not hungry - See things wrong. Suddenly cant read properly, get confused. 100 + 50 i will read as 150 etc. Physical fake sensations, like someone dragging my backpack or pushing me. - Extremely scared of getting sick, compulsive hand washing. Incredibly angry at anyone who coughs or seems sick. - Used up all my money, but i cant remember on what. No big projects like hypomania, just random things. Can't remember what. - Mixed drugs and sex a lot, kind of risky? But not like hypomania, i did this with someone i know. No strangers. Could this be a mixed episode? Or just anxiety that got worse? I cant tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.id Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 It sounds to me like you are hypo/mixed but it is hard to say because anxiety can be symptom as well. I understand you do not how you feel right now but do not worry about what it is but focus on trying to help yourself, contact your mental health support, they know you better then anyone. I wish you the best and hope you feel better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Navel Cord Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Sounds like you're walking a fine line here. I'd definitely ask your pdoc if you have one. Sounds to me, though I'm not a professional, as though you may both have symptoms of anxiety as well as hypomania. I'd find out if I were you, and maybe they can help.

sugarsugar Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Reminds me of when I'm headed in a manic direction. I've used the rationale of sex being with someone I know but I think it was still coming from hypomanic type issues. At any rate I'd check in with pdoc because you don't want this to ramp up.

melissaw72 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I agree with above posters about getting in touch with your pdoc and/or tdoc. Like @sugarsugar said, I agree that you might want to check in with them because you don't want this to get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
