Haven't checked in or posted for a while. Since my discharge a month ago I have become extremely exhausted both mentally and physically. This has made work and study tough going, leaving me with little energy left for anything else. I haven't even journaled. My brain is mush. My T believes the exhaustion is from multiple severe episodes close together (5 in 18 months; mixed, manic, psychotic and deeply depressed). Basically it is like having 5 brain injuries close together. He said it will take my mind and body some time to recover. I just hope I am not slipping into another depression.

My life is so bland, I can barely take care of myself. My Mum cooks for me and gives me frozen meals and I stay at my parents 3 days a week for the company (as suggested by my T). Even basic tasks like shopping or washing clothes overwhelm me. I just have so little mental and physical capacity. My brain actually hurts if that makes sense. My mood is ok, thankfully. I am just crying out for some energy.
