I struggle so much with feeling frozen and unmotivated. The fight is hard and I give most of my energy to just my job. But my job is demanding emotionally, so I come home and collapse. I can only really accomplish one or two things a day. When I work, nothing else gets done and when I'm off, I am completely depleted. Don't underestimate how much energy bipolar takes to manage. Feeling stuck passes for me with a mix of aderall and clonopin. I feel like I can get over the hurdle at hand and feel calm enough to at least begin the task. But it is hard. Life with bipolar never feels easy to me. It complicates everything. But this forum is a great support and the destructive feelings pass with effort. Take time for yourself and renew your energy levels.
