URgent help please

I have Bipolar 1 and due to a lot of emotional stress the past few weeks, I am now in trouble as I am manic!  I had a break down 3 days ago where I sobbed and hyper ventilated and eventually through mindfulness I was able to get it back together again.

I am now in mixed states as I am depressed and hyper at the same time!  I lost my job yesterday due to an idiot telling me I did not meet their standards and I am going to contact Fair work Australia on Tuesday, but until then I need help to get out of the mix state!  my heart is racing and I have diarree I have trouble getting my thoughts in a pattern that makes sense to others.  I don't currently have a Psychiatrist looking after me.

What should I do?

I am now in a mixed episode!  this morning it didn't take much to get me crying and now I am hyper again!

I'll see my GP tomorrow and get my Lithium level and others bloods checked.

You should see a Psychiatrist as soon as possible.
I'm not a Psychiatrist but my Psychiatrist stopped lithium because I has mixed episodes. You should see a Psychiatrist or go to ER.
