#10 Fatigue
Perhaps
couter-intuitively contrary to manic symptoms/episodes, Sufferers suffering
from a depressive episode will often experience extreme tiredness and fatigue.
I often feel worn out by my depression and anxiety and even though I haven’t
done anything really, feel tired and listless and want to shut myself away from
the world and roll up in bed. An overall
lack of motivation throughout the day and the prior are all potential signs of
bipolar disorder. Its said that these symptoms are one of the clearest juxtapositions
of the night to day to night dichotomy between mania and depression, the two
non equal sides of BiPolar disorder. As
well as any felt physical fatigue, sufferers often feel mentally “bogged down”
( I have stated this as feeling muggy and not able interllect wise to do my job
). During depression I and despite maybe getting enough/ample sleep I still
feel a Mental sluggishness replaces the manic mania euphoria, I lack, often
quite suddenly can lack desire/drive to do the things that interest them. I also suffer from a failure of decision
making, too much choice means I fail to relax. Eg. I might have 5 films , 5 Cd’s, 5 work books , 5 comics etc etc to
choose from BUT I just can not choose what to utilise !!!

I wrote a short poem regards David Bowie ~ http://sane.org.uk/support_forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28859
He will be missed, more than that he probably inspired a lot of people regards fashion, sexuality and music
