Hey there. I can empathize with a lot of what you're going through. I'm bipolar but going through a Major Depressive Episode, and it's hard for me to get out of bed and take care of myself.

Something my T recommended was to set up small things to look forward to each week and engaging with people, one or two at a time. Last night, for example, I went out. It took a lot of effort to shower and get ready, but it was worth it - I had a happy night. Even watching a funny movie or an activity with your son count.

You mentioned you're on medication... do you think your medication could be affecting your mood? I would talk to your doctors & T about how you're feeling, because an adjustment of your medication could help a lot.

Hang in there. <3
