Mixed Manic Episode After Long-Term Stability (Euthymia) | Dysphoric Mania

In this video, I’m in the early stages of mixed mania (also called dysphoric mania or a mixed state) after being stable for a year and a half. This is what life is like right now.

I’m talking really slowly and look sleepy in this video because I increased my antipsychotic (Seroquel) to combat the hypomania per my dr. Thanks for bearing with me.

Without the increased antipsychotic, I would be talking really fast. 😵‍💫

“That’s all I want, is to be myself. Doesn’t seem like a lot to ask, does it? But if you have bipolar, sometimes it is.”

Also I meant to say “neurodivergent” instead of “neuroatypical” but my memory is failing a bit right now.
