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.
It's been some months since this depressive phase started. I am unproductive and can't find something I would enjoy doing. I don't know what I want to do, but I know what I don't want to do. I don't want to work in the field I used to but I shouldn't be that pick because I am full of debits and think working would help me to go out from this depression. I am on meds and this is helping me to keep some kind of "good mood", but I don't have creativity right now to go after something.
It is just emptyness.
I know I won't go back to my previous job or work in the same field. I am not inspired anymore (I used to be an astrologer and a yoga teacher)
Last years I started writing and it was good and perfect. I know many languages and always wrote in my life. Last year I was writing a book with the help of my boyfriend, but since he broke up with me I can't write anymore. I don't even believe it could bring me money.
At least if I had a hobby, something to occupy my time, but there is nothing.
I am 50 and this is no time for me to have this kind of crisis.
I feel lost and useless.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...
But with growing pains, and having walked in your shoes - I want to ask you, what my tdoc asked me...
Why do you think YOU don't have to do things - you don't want too? Everyone in the world suffers, and does things they don't want too!!!
LOL with humor - I love my joke, you might not WANT to shit, or wipe your ass, but you probably will anyway : )
We have to create a life - its not going to fall in our lap, or a magic pill....
Wishing you peace and relief ASAP!
I think it's going to take medical help and getting outside of what's become comfortable a little bit at a time
Big hug for you....xo
I don't know how to pretend. I need to find some passion.
But I have found , to feel "normal"...I need to do "normal" things.
Even if it only means getting up and taking a shower.
