Kind of cross posting! Had my first manic episode at the end of Nov. and was hospitalized for 2 weeks w/ psychotic symptoms starting in Dec. I was hypomanic til like January, and then depression set in. All in all it’s been 2 months of depression slowly but aggressively setting in more and more, after I thought I was recovering during hypomania. I’m kind of in the dark on people knowledgeable about bipolar, really hopeful my new therapist who specializes in bipolar can provide insight though. The last few days I ~think~ I can feel the worst of the depression lifting after it was getting worse. I went completely anhedonic and flat and just started feeling some emotions again, albeit anxiety and irritability. I have had suicidal ideation the last few weeks but I have some energy again. I started Wellbutrin 150mg last week and I’m hoping this is a sign it’s working, and that I can start feeling happier. I lack interest in everything still, and am trying to focus on showering more than once a week and trying to cook again. I’ve never felt so low and despondent than recently, have been avoidant of seeing friends. But my family is trying to be there. Anyway, kind of just wanted to share my diary. Ask if this is normal, if there’s hope. Thank you for reading.
