I find myself isolating more and more. I feel the depression getting worse as each day goes by. I have no desire to talk to people, and when I do talk to people, it’s difficult. Writing is also difficult. I guess I just don’t have anything I think is worth sharing with others. That is not normal for me; that’s the depression. Usually, I’m a very talkative person, but now. Right now, I would prefer to stay home and do nothing, but that’s not always possible. I do the best I can when I’m out in public and when I’m talking to others, but it’s getting harder as each day passes.
My Side of the Pole
I'm a 32 year old married woman who has been dealing with Bipolar disorder since the age of 14. This is all about my life, diagnoses, and treatments. If you have any questions, just ask me. I hope that others with Bipolar Disorder or PTSD can relate to my blog and find it helpful.
My Side of the Pole 
Hey, my side. I’m sorry to hear this. Mine came back about 9 days ago and in addition, they think I have an autoimmune disease called Sjogren’s. My ‘moment’ in terms of writing opportunities ( bigger publications and in possession of ‘newsworthy’ content) but I don’t feel good enough to do it. Or enjoy it.
I hear your frustration. This is my 12 relapse over 27 years. Antidepressant fatigue or ‘burnout.’ Also called “Prozac Poopout” clinically but it’s not really kosher to say so. But this video has a few ideas that I picked up about four depressions ago that ease my way through the days. it’s a bipolar hope thing. Have you seen your doc?

I’m sorry to hear about your autoimmune disease. That’s a lot to deal with on top of the depression.
I liked your video. Things that make me laugh are definitely helpful during a depressive episode. My psychiatrist is aware of the depression. We’re waiting to start ECT any time now. I’m just waiting for the phone call from them to schedule my first session. I know this will improve; it’s just a waiting game.

I am just now on the verge of canceling plans. I want to go but there will be a lot of people and I have already worked myself up about it. Rough day. But thinking about you!

Thank you so much for thinking of me. It does help. I understand canceling plans even when you really want to go. It’s tough. I hope you can work it out.
