Happy belated Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!
TLD & Sim: Congrats on your one-year anniversaries. That's awesome!!!
I know, doesn't it suck? Sorry to hear that you're going through the same thing.
Never a need to apologize for making anything be about "you"... that's what we're all here for! (and besides... if we don't make things be about "us" sometimes, who else will?)
I realize that since I've been drinking and using less, a lot of my old issues that made drugs & alcohol so appealing in the first place are resurfacing. My therapist and I are still trying to properly diagnose me so that it can be treated properly.
He said that the mental health profession has begun to identify something like 7 different forms of bi-polar, where for a long time they only recognized two. Apparently it's a lot more complicated than just "manic one day, depressed the next" or whatever. I have always suffered from depression, anxiety and OCD, and my moods can change rapidly for no apparent reason (... and 20+ years of addiction haven't exactly helped either).
Eventually we'll get a better handle on exactly what's going on in this ol' head of mine! 8(
Peace, Love and Faith,

THIS sounds exactly like I've been for about 3 months now. So damn blah . No motivation . No energy. No creativity. No interest.
Sorry. I didn't intend to make your woes About Me ; i just saw a load similarities in how you've been feelin.
