I just don't have a need. TV doesn't help, even being online doesn't help like it used to. I tried to pick up a book to read and I couldn't. I guess I am feeling lost because a friend of mine I was looking forward to talking to disappeared on me and I feel like I have no one to talk to. I hate feeling this way. I guess this is one of those low moods that comes to being bipolar.
Does anyone else feel chronic boredom? Like nothing can stimulate you?

Absolutely. It was driving me crazy too. All of my activity came from being manic. When the meds took that away I had no drive to do any of the things I used to enjoy.
And then summer came and I didn't want to watch it go by and do nothing. So I pushed myself to start hiking, walking and running again.
It was real hard at first, but once I got over this odd mental hump I was fine.
I am still adjusting to this new non-manic life and creating a new normal isn't easy at all.
