For the last couple of days I've been in a down cycle. It hit out of nowhere. I have no desire to be around anyone or talk to anyone. I have to force myself out of bed just to go to work. There's just this feeling of emptiness. I'm taking Lamotrigine in the morning and Lithium at night. I'm still going between mania and depression fairly often even with the meds. I haven't completely come clean with my roommate about my diagnosis, I just told her I have an anxiety disorder. Both yesterday and today she's asked if I'm okay and has been genuinely concerned. I'm unable to hide anything from her unlike how I can with other people. Either that or other people just don't bother to ask. I don't know how to tell her. We've only lived together for a brief amount of time. It feels like this illness is completely ruining my life
