so my husband has people coming in for business this weekend and i usually play the young happy wife (usually manic by coincidence) but right now i'm extremely depressed and have no motivation to see anyone, let alone put on heels. i know he's disappointed, in a hopeless "i can't-do-anything" kind-of-way, just like im feeling.
I wish i could be manic when i need/want to be...and then depressed later at a better time. oh-whata-wish-that-would-be... but i guess we didn't choose to be bp and therefore also don't have the choice of when our moods change.

I can sometimes kind of FORCE myself into mania. I have recently. My wife just left me, and I was understandably very depressed for the last 2 weeks, and tired of it. I desperately wanted to have motivation and joy again. I FORCED myself to get back to lifting weights, cleaning the house, staying up late to be productive, and focusing my mind on goals, dreams and pleasures... it worked somewhat. I'm not exactly hypomanic, but I am definitely no longer depressed, so I consider my therapeutic efforts to be a success.
