Signs that you might need some help for bipolar disorder depression: 

– You have not been out of the house in a few days.

– Getting out of bed is difficult and on some days impossible. 

– You’re not eating, brushing your teeth or shaving.

– The phone rings, but you CAN’T answer it.

People are worried about you.

 


Your regular self leaves the house, brushes his teeth, feeds the animals, goes to work, interacts with the world and looks forward to life. That person has disappeared.
