Something’s not right

What is wrong with my brain?

What is wrong with my brain?

I entered I hypomanic state yesterday, or maybe before yesterday since I've been quite agitated and energised lately, but I felt the depressive symptoms lift for a bit. Maybe it wasn't a true lift because it was so fleeting, I have essentially been depressed most of the time for an extremely long time. Now I am depressed and hypomanic at the same time, my brain is racing. What is wrong with my brain? I can't keep going through this torture. Stupid mixed states, can't my brain make its mind up on what to feel? How do I make it stop? My head feels heavy, strong emotions are never good for migraines, I'll be lucky if it doesn't get any worse. My sleep was pretty broken

@tyme, it has, but I got through it safely. I’ve taken my regular meds and PRN, feeling better. I’m going to go to sleep. Goodnight 😊
