I think I’m slipping into a depressive episode. This is coming after my recent mania. I don’t have any energy. I feel numb because I watch so much TV to avoid thinking about my son not wanting me in his life. When I talk to my therapist every week, I cry pretty much the entire time. In the mornings, it takes real effort to get out of bed. My therapist gave me some modules on bipolar, and two of them are about depression. One emphasizes the need for activities. I know I should clean or make art, but I’m tired.

How is everyone else doing?

I’ll share the link to the module on strategies for managing bipolar depression. There are 8 bipolar modules in all.
