heavy weight over my eyes....no color, no energy, just pessimistic gloom....its not that bad...but just like walking around in a decayed city...seeing everything worn down, corrupt...just that energy of that is what i can descibe. I hate feeling irrtible and in terrible mooods with anxiety....so this is the exact opposite....gloom, no feeling.
anyone else ever felt like this?

Oh yeah, been there, done that... too many times.
I know that it's not going to help right now, but "this too shall pass". It's the nature of the "beast", just the ups & downs of life; only somehow, some of us get the LHC-size swings. Lucky us, huh?
If you are stabilized on your meds, nothing much to do but ride it out. I find solace in the familiar:
1) comfort foods (gotta keep eating - chicken noodle soup, salad out of the bag, hot chocolate, etc.)
2) minimal stimulation, but still some. Schmaltzy children's shows like Spongebob, or for me, I had bootleg Bat Fink & The Munsters on VHS that I would watch & rematch... endlessly. I guess that it is some stimulation without mental exertion.
3) Lastly, loose fitting clothes & a favourite blanket to wrap (hide?) in. Do remember to bathe or shower every few days, & change clothes; someone may come over.You just have to ride out the ebb, there is always an upswing. At the time it just doesn't feel like it.
Hang in there, dude.
