OMG! YES!!!!!!!
I experience Bipolar EXACTLY the same way. I have a million unfinished projects bc I don't have any creativity, and no follow through. i watch a TON of TV, and I try to make the best of that. I have my kids, so I devote all my free time to them. When they are with their dad 2 nights a week, I am lost. I just want to sleep. I don't have any friends, no hobbies, nothing in particular I want to do. Maybe there are some things I would like to do, but I can't get up enough energy/initiative to do them.
My life=Literally...My kids, work, TV. There is little if anything else.
Sound like you???????
