Hey all. I suffer from bipolar 2 and I'm in the midst of one of the worst boughts of depression I've had in quite a while. I lose interest in things usually but this time I'm not interested in ANYTHING. My girlfriend wants to go get lunch with me today at a nice sushi place we've wanted to try, and now that the day is here, I just don't want to bother. I feel like I'll be faking my emotions the whole time. I don't want to eat, I don't want to drive over there (driving around the Seattle area always makes me anxious on top of whatever this is), I don't even know if I want to actually see my girlfriend at all because I feel I'll just bring a negative energy with me that she certainly doesn't need. My girlfriend also suffers from bipolar, so she understands somewhat fortunately. However, how do people cope with this? I get losing interest in things, but have never actually felt disinterested in seeing a significant other specifically. It just feels worse than if I put off plans with friends or family, like I'm letting her down because I'm not able to function enough to go on dates sometimes. I just don't know what to do, maybe I should just go anyways and see how it goes but man I'm just going through it lately.
