a dark cloud

The dark cloud of depression still hangs over my head. When will it end? I force myself to do the things I need to do but I find no pleasure in anything these days. I am on a new medication to help with the depression part of my bipolar but I've only been on it a short time. It can take a few weeks to feel the benefits if any. I had a good session with my therapist yesterday. I always feel better when I leave her office. I know I can't just sit back and hope the meds will fix the problem, I have to do things that will help. Problem is I have no energy or ambition to do anything. I'm getting sick of this and wish it would end. In the past these moods eventually pass so there is hope.
