Simply getting up to eat is a major event. Through this i also lost a job i really liked as well. Most days I don't leave the house. For some reason all the doc seems to worry about is the mania - which only happened once. Honestly I prefer that to being so low on energy. Hopefully you all can relate.


Sounds like your Pdoc ( Psychiarist) has you over medicated if your lacking much ambition.l ?! Maybe.

It takes time to find the right combo of meds , so don’t settle with feeling the way you are.

Are you seeing a T ( therapist) I think anyone dealing with a MI ( mental illness) can benefit having someone to talk to.
