I’m curious if others experience this same issue. When someone asks me how I’m doing, or what’s wrong, I don’t know how to answer them. I know I don’t feel right, but I have no clue what’s wrong. I’m not sure if this is a normal for others that have bipolar disorder. Maybe this is a result of the ECT.
Does anyone else have this same issue? If so, how do you deal with it?

On those days I just say, “Meh..” and shrug. It’s not something I can put into words a lot of the time.

That’s a good plan. When I do it too often, some people wonder what’s really going on. It’s hard to explain to people that I don’t know how I’m feeling or that I can’t explain, in words, how I’m feeling. It happens at least 5 days a week.

I have the same problem, always have. Usually when it happens I feel unsettled in some way. For the longest time I would just lie and say I was fine. Now, if it’s someone who knows I have bipolar (which at this point is most of my friends and family) I just say I’m having a bad day and leave it at that.

I like your response, that you can answer them in thee or four days. The only problem with that is my memory loss.

most of the time, i don’t experience the memory loss. doesn’t make much of a difference to bring it back up. i would expect, what are you talking about? or inability to bring it back up or letting be water in the bridge.

I have this issue. Its more about not being able to find adequate words to describe whats wrong. My therapist is helping me try to label my feelings but its so hard. xo
