I completely understand the depression thing. In my bipolar phases I usually go kthree days of elevated mood or sometimes mixed mood, to a very depressed mood and struggle to get off my butt and help with dinner at least. At least I can managed watching my daughter. Still, I can't seem to be motivated to exercise which usually makes me feel better. I get very upset at myself for not being able to do chores or even sit and write a story, since I used to work as a writer. I have many creative desires, but can't seem to do anything. On good days I feel I hve clearer thinking and more motivation, but I think the is a fear stopping me from perusing my writing career. My father used to be very critical and put me down and I guess I fear that happening again. I have though of writing a book about my mental health expiences. What do you guys think?
