Do you feel more this way more in Winter than Summer or all the same? Light Therapy which you can find in Amazon or health stores can help in Sessional Affected Disorder which is common in winter or in places where sun light is not adequate.

Thank you. Activities you truly do find fun do make it easier to hoist yourself up and out that is true! Maybe this week Daddy and I can go to the park with Calley may. quote: ORIGINAL: FrostedFlake The key points from over here are : You are depressed.

Not 'this week'. TODAY.

All the time, the only changes the seasons have on my mood is like if it's to cold I even more won't wanna get out of bed because I'll have the heater on and my blankies piled high and I'll be hiding in the bed. \ quote: ORIGINAL: Alexander1 Do you feel more this way more in Winter than Summer or all the same?

quote: ORIGINAL: Toppingfrmbottom Other than a lack of motivation t o do much of anything, I don't think I am depressed cause I'm my usual happy bubbly self, but Daddy thinks my lack of motivation or interest in doing anything is depression. I don't think it will make any difference whether you are medically diagnosed as depressed or not, as you have other known medical issues that you aren't taking care of (because you can't be assed to take your meds) so what difference is one more ailment going to matter? It's not as though being diagnosed is going to magically make you want to take charge of your life and make it a better one. So go on being your happy bubbly self, hiding yourself away from the many wonders of the world. Just be aware that you are really selling yourself short by not taking care of yourself, and there will come a day when you will no longer have the option of a healthy life, and you'll wonder why you threw away the only one God gave you.

I'm still lethargic and don't give a damish even when I was taking my meds. I took them every day strait for a long long time, I'd say a year strait almost. There's long stretches where I am on them faithfully, It's rare I am not on them. I've just stopped taking them long term, as opposed to the forgot a days dose. maybe twice in the4 years I've been on meds. it didn't make a difference in my energy levels or my interest in taking care of myself. I just wasn't manic or flying off the handle. That's all the meds do, really is control the mania and the cycling from manic to regular and back to manic. Eventually with out my meds I start not sleeping and I start having extreme mania's and jitters and I am extremely fidgety and nervous, I couldn't focus or pay attention of course then cause my mind was going 2000 miles an hour, and then I get extremely short tempered and irritated from the not sleeping right and the constant feelings of being like tigger on crack. quote: ORIGINAL: poise I don't think it will make any difference whether you are medically diagnosed as depressed or not, as you have other known medical issues that you aren't taking care of (because you can't be assed to take your meds)i

Got it- I think: The meds effectively treat the mania but they do not treat your depression. It is possible to have both bipolar disorder and major depression btw. quote: ORIGINAL: Toppingfrmbottom I'm still lethargic and don't give a damish even when I was taking my meds.

Why are you asking a bunch of strangers on the internet about a situation that only you and your health care providers can answer together? You have been on the boards starting a variety of different threads and they all go the same way: You ask for help, some very good suggestions are provided, you give one explanation after another as to why those suggestions won't work for you or you will say you've already done the thing suggested (even though if that were genuinely true, it's likely things would be different) and then the thread eventually peters out. It's the same every time. I know you'll ignore this post. I know, in the future, you will continue to make posts similar to this thread. I doubt you will ever change. I wish you would take the following words from poise to heart because she speaks a very definite truth. quote: ORIGINAL: poise there will come a day when you will no longer have the option of a healthy life, and you'll wonder why you threw away the only one God gave you.

She has already talked to her medical providers. They told her to take her meds and exercise. She hasn't. Ain't no one gonna shove them down her throat for her until she lands in a hospital bed somewhere. But hey, it's not like anyone didn't tell her this already.I'm not sure what she's going to accomplish by just talking about it.
