Decorating used to be one of the things I loved most. People always complimented our home because of the decor - it was quirky but somehow always worked really well. Perhaps that's when I was either stable or hypomanic? But since I moved out of my home (my husband and I just divorced last week), I haven't even had the motivation to hang pictures. I've been here for almost 6 months now, and I still have done next to nothing (including cleaning). I know I'm in a very deep depression right now, so maybe that's one of those "interests I no longer find interesting". Either way, I do believe there's a correlation. I don't know if my depressed mind prefers the empty walls/lack of decor, or if it's preventing it. I can't say my mood has improved any from NOT having decorated. *throws hands in the air*
Well that was of little help. Just my own experience, I guess.
