I am not bi polar but I do suffer from depression and I recognise everything you write about! The fact that you are online and writing is a great start. getting dress ed or not does not matter just m stay warm relaxed and comfy.
People who have never had similar problems will not understand that if you have stopped taking your medication and are feeling really low - it can be very hard to start taking it again, no matter how much you might need it. The. medication is important but I know myselfthat you have to be in the right mood to take it!
You know what is best for you right now - someone telling you what to do is the last thing you need but here are somethings that I find helpful:
Drink water - there is a clear link between mood and food and staying hydrated is a real key. It does not need to be plain, although this is good, anything with mainly water is better than nothing but try not to have to much caffine.
If you cant face large amounts of food or drink better just to have a little and often of what you most fancy.
Right now staying in bed is the most tempting thing in the world and getting up is soooooooo hard! Ep for a short time that would be great. Sometimes I find it easier once everyone has gone to bed and the world will leave me alone!
Picking up the phone can be a real struggle but sometimes a conversation with someone understanding who u can really trust gives me a real lift.
If you can face sitting in natural light and or in front of a light box that may help too.
There are lots of of things I could suggest but I don't want to bore u!
Remember that the way u feel is not your fault it is a medical condition you do not have much control over without support do not blame yourself or let others judge you. You can and will get through this. If you get on well with your GP and or counsellor get in touch with them - these are the times they are here for.
If you would like to talk just get in touch.
Good luck and be kind to yourself. |

it doesn't cost much to get up take a nice hot shower and get dressed and get out of the house surround yourself with people go to a mall sit on a bench and people watch. if that doesn't lift your spirits then we've got a problem or pick up the phone and call someone and ask them how are you really doing. when the began to lay out their problems and you listen to them instead of saying oh i am going through that too . you'll realize that your situation is so minor |

The best thing to do is get up and get out. Even if you only go for a walk, there has been days where I have felt that way and I could lay in bed all day but if I make myself get up and move then I feel much better. |

Open the windows in your house. Breath fresh air. Go for a brisk walk. Get a puppy on a dog pound, he will keep you company and motivate you. Gardening is great theraphy. It worked for me when I was going through a divorce. I never did gardening before -as a matter of fact, almost hated it- but once I started I couldn't stop. It distracted me and gave me much needed exercise and much needed time outdoors. No need to go anywhere or dress up... just you doing something constructive and beautiful.
Also, it has been found that people that are depressed is becaus ethey have a lot of time on their hands, What about volunteering?
Also, Yoga helped me tremendously during hard times. It put me back together,
Good luck, I hope I helped : ) |

If you have bipolar you should be on your medication. Do you have family that can help you? Contact a minister and explain your situation. Sometimes churches have funds to help people, plus the minister might be able to counsel you. |

What made you so down in the first time that is what you have to ask yourself and when you find the answer you have to face up to it and then deal with it,I know it is hard but when you are so low there is only one way to go and that is up.If you would like to talk please mail me and i will be happy to try and help. |

If you are bi-polar, you should be taking medication. Do you have any, and if so, are you taking it? I'm really sorry that any person has to feel this way. My oldest sister has been that way before, and sometimes still goes through periods where she can't even leave her house.
Please try to cheer up. Watch only funny programs, not sad or sappy. Write down anything good you can think about, even it's just your teeth, your hair, your butt! etc., It's so easy to focus on the bad, and when you do, it just brings you down more. You have to force yourself to focus on, and TYHINK about anything good and eventually your spirit will begin to feel better. Don't give up. There is a whole world out there and you need to be a part of it! |

It sounds like a severe depression. It's not going to just go away. You have to deal with it. Are you faithfully taking your meds for your bipolar disorder? They have to be taken at the prescribed times and you can't miss any of them.
If you have been taking your meds, call your doctor. Tell him/her exactly how you are feeling. Don't leave out anything. Your meds may need adjusting they may need to be changed. If you aren't in any kind of therapy, ask your doctor if that is something that would benefit you.
No matter what kind of illness we have, we have to be proactive in our health. Good luck to you. I hope you can get the help that you need. |

Are you taking medication? If you live in the United States there are often facilities who will treat you for reduced fees (check with your county mental health department) and they can arrange for medication at reduced fees also. They also can arrange for therapists. Please don't try to handle this without professional help. I have a very good friend who is bi-polar who holds a wonderful professional job and has a daughter and a great life all because she recognizes her illness and treats it aggressively and our church family supports her wholeheartedly. I will pray for you and ask God's blessings and comfort for you. |

Have you thought about getting a friend ? They are nice to have around and most are house broken . They come in different colors and shapes and some have minds of their own . I have found humans make good friends but that is just my opinion . You might want to try to find a good f*** buddy just to have come over and cheer you up . |
