In the past, I've been diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder, but those diagnoses turned out to be alcoholism in disguise. I've been unmedicated and doing well under medical supervision since I got sober a few years ago. Lately, I've been feeling weird, though. I don't think it's depression because I'm not sleeping too much, and I have hope for the future. However, I don't seem to take much pleasure in things, and I'm totally lazy. I'm not really manic like the alcohol/drug induced episodes I had years ago, but my head is in the clouds. I feel really directionless. I'm just waiting to see what happens next in my life and feel sort of detached from everything. My psychiatrist is not of any help. He tells me things like "my mood is depressed," but I'm not actually depressed. I feel like I'm at this big turning point in my life, but I don't know what actions to take or even what it is I'm supposed to be deciding. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do?
