No, this happens every time I get depressed, it will pass. Until then, take the time to do what you need to do to feel better, if thats avoiding the human race and sitting on the sofa eating cheezits, then so be it!

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

You sound fairly normal to me. It's good to recognize what's going on, then we can try med and attitude changes to make things better. But it can be therapeutic to play "poor me" for a few days!

sounds like the beginnings of depression. Keep an eye on it and see pdoc if it gets any worse.

Hi, leezettef!!!
Not totally, but yes!! Unfortunately, this is what BP does to us, at times, messes us up!!!!
I feel, and most of the time, I'm sad to say, exactly as you describe!!
Good luck, sweetie!!! I hope this feeling passes quickly for you and is replaced by a happier mood!!!
Take care!!!!

No, you're not messed up. Just cycling into a depression. I know it takes a LONG time to get the right med combination (I've been workign on it for 5 years) so don't get discouraged. Try a DBSA meeting or talking to your pdoc or therapist. You may just need to ride this out. As far as significant others are concerned, it can be very frustrating for them. Maybe you could convince him to educate himself about the disorder - doing web research is good. Then he can recognize when you are not yourself and he can remind you that it's a disorder and not you personally.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
