Recently I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder with Social Anxiety and ADHD. I was put on Abilify, Zoloft, and Concerta. I feel great but I'm having a problem. I feel incredibly motivated and I have nothing to do. I mean I feel like doing SOMETHING but there is nothing for me to do... has anyone ever felt like this?

Maybe you could join something new on your own or through work, like doing sports or learning something new, like a discipline or even an academic subject.

LoL! I say Lucky You!! I am quite the opposite! I have too much to do and not enough motivation to do it!

Anyway, I'm glad you're feeling better! I am on Zoloft too, and I love it. Have you checked out the community pages (or whatever they're called!) that have all sorts of classes you can take? They have evening classes, day classes, weekend classes.. You can learn a new language, take an art class, or Yoga or Jazzercize, learn to sew or cross stitch, etc. I love those classes and they are super cheap (where I live at least). Otherwise, you could try setting a goal for yourself, even if it's small. Maybe start to get a bunch of stuff ready for a spring garage sale or something!


Anywho, hope you find something fun and interesting to keep you going!

Check with your doctor about the meds. If you are feeling uncomfortably "up" he may need to modify the antidepressant or the other meds. Zoloft will sometimes send people who have bipolar disorder into a high. Also, some medications for ADHD will sometimes make bipolar people feel restless.

when ever i start feeling very restless and aggitated i sink my self into a lovely bubbly bath, try some insense sticks as they are so good in clearing negative energy, i use nag shampa, and buy it from ebay, as i think its cheaper that way
also certain oils can give you an instant calming feeling, check them out on google just type e.g lavender oil or just oils for relaxation, you can actually add a few drops to the bath, or if you have any gerainiam oil its great for adding a few drops to unperfumed body cream, makes you feel so lovely fresh and light and very refreshing so you can handle any sort of stressful day, anyhows ile shut up now lol and leave you to it, love and light, mands xx
