I mentioned in my previous thread that I thought I had the after Christmas blues (plus feeling very suicidal all of a sudden) and was also physically sick. Well, 3 days later, I have not improved. I am sleeping for hours a day...this with my ONE year old playing around me. I can't stay awake and I normally do this while I am depressed. I am sleeping about 15-16 hours a day and just laying there for the rest of the majority of the day. I am miserable.

I have also been physically sick. I feel miserable and I have since the day after Christmas. Could this illness be causing severe depression symptoms?

This also has me wondering if I really have Bipolar Disorder. Could it be something physical? How could anyone possibly go from sleeping 0-4 hours per night to sleeping 15-16 hours per day a few times a year? It just seems so unreasonable.
