This is my first post and I have been wondering for a while if I might be Bipolar or suffer from depression.

Just starting to type this post has brought me to the edge of tears.

The first thing is that I haven't slept properly for years broken sleep and insomnia and right now I just have no energy, but this time last week I felt as it I could do just about anything. I was all set to write a book and even lined up an illustrator. Now I just want to go back to bed and it's 10.30 in the morning here. But I can't, I have to go and care for my 91 year old mother and my disabled sister.

I don't even know if this makes any sense. What I wouldn't give just to get out bed in the morning and get on with life.

Yesterday afternoon I just wanted to curl up in a ball and be left alone.

I have never been diagnosed or had any treatment.
