Sorry to hear you're feeling so down... I know how you feel. I was depressed horribly for over 8 years. It wasn't until I stopped all antidepressants that I started to get better. I take lithium, Lamictal and most recently, Seroquel, which is the best thing that has happened to me. I feel that many BP-II's (depressed most of the time) do not benefit from anti-depressants, and they may actually cause cycling and more depression.

No matter what, though, stay in close contact with your doctor about your moods. If you're still feeling bad, call! If you're feeling bad again in a few days, call! They can't help if they don't know.

If there is ANY way you can make yourself, excercise. This is probably the most important thing that you can do for yourself. I know how hard it is to do... there have definitely been times when there was NO way I would get out and do it, but you gotta try.

Just remember, you WILL get through this. It may take a while, but you WILL do it! We're all here to help.
