I am finally out of the dark pit. I was so excited that someone bought a painting that after three weeks of not working, I spent all morning on a new piece!
It feels so good not to be depressed. I think I am still two shades shy of normal, but each day is getting better. I am also reading a lot of fiction which is a great escape. I go to the library because it is free and you can find a lot of the oldies that aren't at new book stores anymore. I am thinking of upping my prices on my artwork as they are ridiculously low to the point that I am losing money. But I will up them at a different gallery or coffee shop. I may even try a street fair. If I priced them right and they sold well, i could actually help my husband with our medical bills! This would be a job! Anyone else coming out of the blues ? What are you doing now that you lost interest in before? I know for me...when I am depressed I lose all interest in the things I once used to enjoy. But for those of you who are in the pit of hopelessness...it won't last forever. You will get better. Don't be afraid to change your meds. I have tried 8 different meds with different combos over the last 7 months. Don't give up! |

Aw, Bluewave7, so glad to know you're coming out of a depressive state and that your art is attracting buyers. Yes, ma'm, you should up your price and keep painting. It's really its own reward in a lot of ways.
I enjoyed your post, and yes, I don't think I'm depressed at this time, either. It's a very good feeling. |

That's great your painting sold.
 Great job! Don't sell yourself short. Up your prices to be reasonable yet profitable, you know. Do you post your art on a web page? If you start doing street fairs maybe you could get a simple business card and also have an online shop, too. I'm always mixed or cycling very fast. So I'm up and down all the time. Days when I'm more steady always feel as beautiful as a Spring day, though. That's for sure.

Genetic...I am so glad you are doing well!
Dark Heart...I have been told to create a website and sell online. That is a good suggestion. And thanks for the encouragement on upping my prices. I hope you get evened out soon. There will come a time. At least that's been my experience. With bipolar there is some smooth sailing...but it is hard to remember that when I am mixed up. |

Wow. You inspire me. When the big D hits me I'm all doom and gloom. But I'm still a newbie and hope to roll with the punches. I lost interest in church (3 weeks) and I hope to attend Sunday.
I've had my Lithium increased...that didn't work. Now I'm trying Lamictal. Eight meds I'm just really inspired. Your strong and have so much courage.
