Struggling with a Mixed Episode

Personally I will isolate and force myself to take care of myself physically which typically reduces the struggle at least enough for me. Drink ur water, eat meals and shower

Distract yourself so something with your hands watch something really enticing... Helps me anyway

I’m sorry you’re struggling. Mixed episodes can be so hard since there doesn’t seem like one clear cut way to handle it. What helps me in mixed episodes is to isolate- so I don’t have to feel like I’m spending so much energy controlling myself around others. Then use that energy to start a productive project that is in a safe environment so I get my energy out and if I get irritated can move to something else or feel better about myself in the middle of trying to manage. Gets my mind off of all the swirly emotions. Or binge watch a really intriguing show. If you need a new tv show for an episode I’d recommend the show scorpion- group of misfit geniuses solving problems with government. Shows like that help me not feel so unstable and can actually hold my attention when my brain is all over the place. When it happens for me I just try and make the best of it with minimal damage and clean up after. I have a lot of things I do but it really depends on what’s going on and my skills are personalized to work for me so I don’t want to throw you off in the wrong direction. I’m here if you want to brainstorm ideas. I can ask a lot of questions to see what might work for you.
