I am bipolar. My meds are stable, but it seems this time of year, after all the rush and hustle/bustle of the holidays, my mood plummets. It seems there's nothing to look forward to except darkness (literally), cold and boredom. Does this happen to anyone else even when their meds are OK?

Part II to the question is: Even when meds are OK, why do people with depression, or bipolar people still get some pretty bad mood swings? I really thought this time my meds would help, well, forever. Was I deluding myself?
