Lost, and cus of it I am sad

I've been thinking about this for quite some time now.

Cus of my BP problems, I have no serious plans, ideas or hope for the future. Before my life was full, now it's empty...it's a routine, I am not happy about it, but too afraid to do something.

Like I said, my lack of ideas, my abitions just went away, dunno where, and cus of all this...I am sad.

I ask you my friends, is it normal to feel this way? Are the med's the one doing this to me? Or am I just going through a fase "you're accepting your illness"?

HELP me with some advice

You're on the depressive cycle of bipolar disorder. You WILL eventually get out of it. Right now just take it easy and wait for the cycle to end. I'm in a mixed state right now and all I can do is be patient, take my meds, and hope it will pass.

What are things that you use to like? This doesn't sound like acceptance and waiting can make things longer.

When you first have a change like this, things look bleak. But then you feel a little bit better and suddenly things start coming along that will work for you and that you will enjoy. I have a terrible case of BP 2 with psychosis, yet I have 2 college degrees, a marriage of 28 years, and three happy young adult children. You CAN reach the goals you set...it might just be through a different route.

Yeah -- I think worst part of the depressive cycle (for me) is the feeling of just settling for how my life is...

I mean, get up, shower (maybe) coffee, cereal, drive to work, work, drive home, sit and watch tv, go to bed, get up...

It goes away though...cuz other times I love my job and things feel like they are moving forward....to some sort of positive end...not just the same old grind.

You'll get through though....

As the saying goes: "This too shall pass..."

thanks guys you're the best.

well i dunno in what state i'm in. i think i cycle way too much. one day i'm quite ok, the other day sad, then ok again, then sad!

i feel blah, i used to LOVE TRAVEL and was the one convincing my BF to go somwehre. now i don't feel like doing anything. of course i'm not happy about it, but yet have no energy to do something.

i clean, i work etc., but no energy for anything else (!!)

maybe i will have to lift the abilify up...or both my med's since i'm on the lowest dose possible? waiting on pdoc appointment...

This is how I felt last week and the week before myself. However, this weekend I did about a zillion things and was super motivated. Just stay with it, it'll flip eventually!
