This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Do you ever sleep a lot when stressed? My dad had a stroke and still cannot eat/swallow or speak very well and my friend's dad is in the ICU and then another friend's DIL is being mean to her and the truck has been down for almost three weeks, so I am very stressed out all of the time.
Last night, I slept from 5-7 and then from 8:30 until this morning at 6:00.
I have to work full time and I have not had meds since a cardiac incident from an interaction in May.
Also, we haven't gotten groceries, so my nutrition is off as well.
Does this sound like major depression or does this sound like stress only?

It's hard to say, esp bc of how much stress can play a role in depression. But it's important to be taking good care of yourself, including eating well. Self care can only help.

I just got my ratings back from the VA and so I'll be getting out of the army in 30-45 days.... I've been getting home from work and basically going to sleep. I've been putting my kids to bed early so I could go to sleep, I go to sleep at like 730 when I usually go to bed at 9 and sleep til 515 and I'm still so tired when I wake up, I have bags under my eyes.

I sleep a lot when stressed. Soemtimes it fends off the depression. Sometimes it's the precursor. I agree with Sadie, self care is important. Get some good for you food in the house.
