25 years of high's from bipolar to one month of depressive state - what is going on?

[Littlejan22]

Hi everyone I have had Bipolar for over 25 years and to date have never suffered an MDD in fact judging by my spiralling credit card debt evidence of my highs never any lows, now I am stuck in this vicious circle, I realise as I am low just how much debt I am in, I can't get out of bed in the morning, usually takes 1 /2 hours to get up, which I hate as I have hardly ever slept through the night, much less struggling to throw back the duvet covers and get myself up, I dread going to bed at night as I know what I have to face in the morning.

I have an interview for a full-time job on Wednesday, but although it will help my financial issues I am not sure if I get it that I will be able to get up and go to work.

Any advice would be so appreciated. If you have had MDD how long can it last, is there anything I can do to help myself out of this?

Thank you Janet
