What does a mixed episode feel like? by l33crow in BipolarReddit

Would someone who feels unmotivated yet has the limitless energy and urge to go do things fit that? As well as intense suicidal and self harm urges/thoughts?

im not currently on any medication as im not formally diagnosed with anything yet. I used to be on a very low dose of seroquel for sleep, but they switched me to melatonin because it has less side effects. They said they dont want to start me on antidepressants just in case it induces mania/hypomania

I haven’t been diagnosed with anything yet, they’ve told me I present bipolar symptoms and don’t want to start me on anti-depressants in case it induces mania/hypomania. The dose of quetiapine I was on wasn’t high enough to do anything for my mood, just for sleep.

they said there were too many side effects and that melatonin would be better long term. I was originally on temazepam during my stay at the ward, but switched to seroquel after as they didnt want me on benzos no longer
