I was severely depressed for two weeks. Every single thought that crossed my mind was painful. Everything in my life that I wish I could do over or say over, things that made me cringe, came to mind one thought after another. There were no breaks, no blue sky, no hope, and no meaning to the suffering. I felt like I was too tired to die and much too tired to live. My friend told me my depression amps up after the first of the year. What's today?
With bipolar, working or not, I'm still punching the time clock.

It definitely sounds like you went through a rough two weeks. Hopefully with spring on the horizon, the days and weeks ahead will be brighter (in more ways that one) than the last two weeks were for you. I think it's encouraging that your two weeks of severe depression seem like they're now in the past, and I hope that the beast of bipolar depression will loosen its grips on you as time goes on.

I know how this feels. Unable to shower, get out of bed, eat. Hopeless. The worst feeling in the world

This thing was triggered by stress. Isn't it always? This was one of my worst depressions in a while. The regrets and painful thoughts slowly scrolled through my mind. Why did I say that? (in the 5th grade) Irrational and long forgotten thoughts, they all floated to the surface.
I'm preaching to the choir here. We've all been there.
