My Life is Now Boring
Maybe this is an odd question. I have been getting so much better after intense therapy and finding the right medication mix (finally) for years for my BP and Bipolar. I see things in gray now, not black and white. I have overcome many issues in my life, yet, now I find life boring? I feel that I have lost my "edge"...my spark in life. I feel that fantasy mixed with reality instead of just plain reality that I have now was much better. I was a highly functional BP...worked my career, family, friends, etc...now that I am better I barely move and have no motivation. Is this common in the healing process or treatment?
The simple answer is, yes. BPs thrive on crisis, mostly crises that they have themselves created. When you no longer feel the need and/or are driven to a crisis state, things will start to seem pretty boring. It's a good thing.
