I suffer from Bipolar I and OCD as well. Looking back at my ups and downs I see the lack of motivation to be partly from the meds just dragging me down. It was hard enough most days just to function at work. Right now I am not sure exactly what I am going thru. I was manic for 4 months and I could not seem to focus on one thing at all. I would get started and then switch to something else. It is hard for me with the mania and the OCD, I feel as though they play back and forth with each other and I sometimes don't know what is what. Currently I am in between meds and as of this moment in time I am energetic and have the motivation to do everything. I do this and I don't know if you do as well, but I make a list of everything that needs to be done and I get overwhelmed at the big picture. I have been working in therapy at just trying to accomplish one tiny bit at a time instead of killing myself with the anxiety. Maybe if you can just think of one small task that needs to be done for a day and do just that, or even attempt it, you might be surprised at what you can accomplish. I wish you well.
