Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
And I mean everything. I can't even describe/define "fun" I just don't want to do anything at all. The very thought of hanging out with people is overwhelming. Sex? Yeah right. No libido...at all. Spending quality time with my kids is rough b/c I don't want to make a mess and have to clean it up.
I don't know that I expect anything from having written this. I guess it was just a vent. I know there's nothing I can do to regain my drive for fun. I'm doomed to be stuck this way...at least for a little while.
