Any suggestions?
Maybe a tweak in medication would help? Also, do you exercise? Even before I was diagnosed with BP, much of the depression came from being a couch potato. Sounds like you are super busy with three businesses but are you taking care of yourself as well? Even people without BP have to exercise to stay focused and keep energy levels up. Managing three businesses would be overwhelming for anyone so don't beat yourself about it. I am currently experiencing an intense sleep cycle, but I also recognize that my sleep patterns are out of whack. I am mostly sleeping during the day which isn't so good but it is when my body wants to sleep. Try watching some movies you enjoy and motivate you...and stay away from negative people...healthy people can survive them but depressed people swallow that stuff.
