It’s been a while since I posted on Reddit, I’ve been doing much better since I was diagnosed with bipolar II and started taking lithium and quetiapine, but there are still things that mess with my head. 
My battery is extremely low. Everything I do makes me feel exhausted, especially after socializing. Just a family reunion leaves me fatigued for two or three days. 
Does anyone experience something similar? Is it the medications or the illness? I’m tired and confused 

This is specially problematic because I can’t relay on myself, when I sign myself up for projects or activities I’m not even sure if I will be able to do them. This is horrible when I have work to do and deadlines to follow because I’m mentally and physically exhausted and it’s almost impossible for me to “force” myself to do things 

If it happens to anyone, what do you do to stay funcional?
