Being Bi-Polar I literally have my "ups" and "downs" hence the name for the condition. Lately I seem to be stuck on the down side. With that many times comes this feeling of lethargy. I feel tired all the time, have no drive and nothing interests me. I have to make myself get out of bed and it's a difficult struggle. I don't even have an appetite when I get like this, I have to make myself eat. Most of the time my medications keep me in kind of a neutral state, but sometimes the cycle will be strong enough to break through. I've been on a strong down cycle for about 2 1/2 wks now, which is kind of unusual since I'm what is referred to as rapid cycling. I'm not sure what triggered this down cycle but my normal up cycle triggers have not been working to change it. I did find a counselor that accepts my insurance finally. Hopefully she'll be able to help me turn things around and get back on some sort of an even keel again.
