I feel like I'm slipping backwards in terms of social interactions and being able to express myself creatively. Usually I like being an "idea person", but my ideas are fewer and further between in recent months, too. I do feel a bit lonelier than in the past. I even feel less connected to my psychiatrist, whom I've always adored. And as for my newish therapist, I have started not to like what she is providing (or the lack of help). It's hard to know if it's my mood state causing a lot of this, or something else.

I'm sorry you are struggling with this. I struggle too with creativity, even just getting ideas, like how or where to store something we just got that doesn't fit in with other things or is a lot larger or a lot smaller. I just can't even get those ideas any more. I disconnected from my book club, pretty much, haven't been to a meeting in months. I do like my new T, but my pdoc is not as good as my old pdoc, and I think I could see him 10 years and not feel connected to him. Not that he's a bad doctor, he just is efficient and doesn't do personal chit-chat stuff. You have to be on the ball and have what you want to tell him ready (I have started making a list).
I hope things get better for you. This can be a tough time of the year too.
