Hi Everyone,
For the last month or two I've been pulling away from things that I enjoy. I stopped going to two support groups. More recently I haven't been to church on three weeks. Today I skipped Bible study. I'm not mad at anyone I just don't wanna go but don't know why. I don't know if its the depression. When I skip out on the above things I sit at home and watch tv.

Sounds like depression to me. I had been watching tv all the time. My T said I need to get out and doing things. So right now I'm at starbucks with my friend.

No problem, Coco.
 I wish I'd get out of this funk even so!

Ok...it's a anticonvulsant which acts as a mood stabilizer. My pdoc won't give me a AD but I'll be changing pdocs soon. If Lamictal doesn't work I'll be asking the new pdoc abt a AD. I'm tired of dragging around. I have a good day sometimes but they don't out weight the bad. I've stopped doing so many things that bring me joy.

There are a few small pointers that can lift depression!
1. Leave the house and walk around the block once (Or stand outside in the sun for 10-15 minutes if you can) 2. Don't take naps during the day 3. Try to incorporate a fruit smoothy/vegetables in your diet and eat less processed food. This will give you more energy. To be honest, 1800 mgs of lithium also seems like a lot so you might want to get a blood test if you haven't recently on that dose. Are you experiencing any physical discomfort at the moment? (I notice that increased lithium usually gives me gastric issues)

Depression is terrible.
You can get through it, though. It does turn around eventually. My best advice is if your energy isn't allowing you more than watching t.v., to try to put in humorous things like comedy shows or movies. Things you normally find funny. Even if you don't laugh, it can help keep your mind away doom and gloom thoughts.

When my depression got so bad I decided I just could not fight it anymore and I asked God to take it from me. I decided to fully accept it and not feel bad for bailing out of things. I stayed home and read some books that all had good endings. It was hard to read at first. It was hard to even go to the library the first time. Slowly I got better but I needed to take care of myself and rest instead of feeling bad about being depressed. I needed to not take it as a part of who I was but simply an illness that I have to deal with. I have bipolar instead of I am bipolar.

Well I didn't make it to church. I ended up talking myself out of it. I don't feel like socializing...hence the reason I didn't go.
