Mixed state

Yesterday I struggled caught in what is known in Bi-Polar Land as a 'mixed state'.

What that means is that I was both exhausted AND agitated at the same time. So I could not sleep and I could not do anything.

A mixed state is a form of exhausted hypomania that is extremely difficult to bear because I end up having what i feel is a frustrated 'wasted' day. And I hate it.

I feel emprisoned between the two extremes of my illness where my body refuses to properly give in to either. I could not have writen this blog post yesterday because I was incapable ot settling down for long enough to write anything.

I just hope today won't be the same - I am hopeful it will be better because I managed a decent night sleep. 

Wish me luck ... :0)
