Does anyone else feel bored with everything, work, tv, music, books, family ect. Even the thought of a nap doesn’t sound appealing. I feel like I am trapped in my body. I want to do something but nothing brings me joy or motivated. I had been doing well for at least a month but now this hits me. Jornay is doing its job and keeping awake which is also frustrating when you want to nap to pass time.
So in short does anyone else feel trapped in their body and not sure how to break out of the funk? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes, I've been feeling this way for six months now. I've lost interest in everything, nothing brings me joy. It's just a flat, numb feeling. I feel like a zombie and just want to stay in bed all day.
I think about my last manic episode over and over to try and remember the happy euphoria I felt. I'd rather be manic again than be depressed. I've started taking high doses of Omega 3 and sitting out in the sun everyday to get vitamin D, but so far it hasn't helped

I've felt that way off and on ever since my mom died in March. Not fun.

Pretty much. I constantly struggle to feel inspired and good. My therapist says I'm stable and doing so well. Makes me wonder if she wants me to be well so she can see my therapy as successful. I mean, I do feel pretty stable, but just...flat. The downside of meds, probably.

It is just weird to me a profession that wants to kick you out the door as fast as possible to rate how good of a job they do themselves but pushing a customer out the door. I know there are no shortage of clients especially now but it is a weird business plan. But if you are with a therapist long term they start to feel inadequate. It is supposed to be a revolving door. Not every T is like this but a lot are. I want a T to let me vent and repeat things whenever I need to but a lot of Ts want me to work on things but venting and getting out my stress, anxiety, and frustration makes me feel better. I have been doing better I see my T and pdoc less. Meds are more stable. I just feel trapped and frozen occasionally. I disassociate some times. Still a lot better than before.

i agree with the other wise and wonderful posters about relating at least in part. Perhaps it may be a good idea to talk about this to your therapist or pdco if you feel like it. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Crook32, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
