I have been wondering if I am crazy, manic, severely depressed, etc. I have never felt this way, its so....physical. Thank you.
We definitely all go through it! For me the depression hit full force about 6 weeks after BD. I have no idea why the delay, but when it hit, it hit BAD. I couldn't function at work or at home. I also had anxiety attacks for the first time in my life. After a few days I knew it wasn't something I'd be able to tackle myself, so I went to the doc and got on anti-depressants. They helped get me back on track. Many others here have taken A/D's as well. So yes, what you're going through is normal, but if you find you just cannot get out of the depression on your own then seek out counseling and/ or medical help.

Oh, and register my daughter for college.
PERFECT FREAKING TIMING
Try to get your D to start pitching in on stuff like that. It's part of the "growing up" process. In the months leading up to college W and I both worked on making D19 more independent- we had her wash her own clothes, do her own college paperwork, start doing errands for us to help out, etc.
