I was doing pretty good for a while...a few months. Out of nowhere I've just swung down into the dumps.

I don't know what to do with myself...I know what I should be doing, but I just can't seem to make myself. I can't make up my mind about anything and any little stressor drives me to irate.

I'm a decent person, I think. I don't want to be like this. I've taken my meds...just had them adjusted (gonna have to wait for those to work). There's no reason for me to be so down...not that I can think of.

Just like that, I dropped from an almost optimistic person to someone that can't handle just being anywhere or doing anything.

I'd love some hugs and support please.
Thanks.

Hey Hanna Sweety. I am sad that you feel so badly. I am also very proud of you for being able to reach out and ask for the love and support in your time of need. So many of us are ashamed or afraid to do so. Sounds like the ole' rigors of the norotious bipolar rearing it's ugly head to me honey. Just when you think your life is going well and all is okay if not down right good, it strikes at us. You know that we must be able to counter-strike and not let it get the upper hand. You have taken the first step against this by reaching out here tonight. I commend you my friend. Please take care and if you need me I am here. Peace and Love to you my friend. HUGZ.

I'm in the same boat the past couple of days... I have no reason either! Things have been positive and very optimistic. I'm confused by it. I've been very busy.... but the past 2 days I didn't shower, I let dishes pile up, laundry needs to be done. I look at it and I just don't care right now. I'm sad & don't know why.

I hope you feel better soon sweet. Here is a warm hug to let ya know I'm with you. We know it will pass. One thing about BP is that it's kinda like the weather. It will always change whether sunny or cloudy (or worse) LOL! Hang on and have a happy weekend.

All i can say is I understand.... nothing to be done about it, just hope you can weather the storm

deleted_user 09/06/2008

I am feeling the same way, and like you I have no reason at all to feel this way. Things are going good for me, but I feel down in the dumps. I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone. ((hugs))
