My favorite part of the day is getting to go to bed. Getting up is really, really tough.

As much as depression and SI sucks, I haven't had a bought of it since September which is a good stretch for me so I guess that's a good thing-progress. I just have to wait it out, try to do a better job of not letting it stop me from getting things done, hope seeing family this weekend doesn't make it worse, and hope the SI doesn't get to bad.
I am glad you at least had a good stretch from depression & SI, you're right, it sucks big time to be depressed and dealing with SI, but the good stretch lets you know it is possible for you to not feel that way. Have you seen your pdoc to talk about it and ask of possible med adjustments? I admire you for being able to work not only dealing with bipolar but with POTS as well and even getting walks in when you are up to it. You are definitely an inspiration to me!
