I’m really struggling with something that’s been an issue for years. When I’m depressed, and even when I’ve not been depressed, I feel like there’s a heavy cloud in my head and I feel incredibly empty.

It’s like my brain can’t store information. I can’t remember anything - news, places I’ve been, (I also have no sense of direction and couldn’t tell you where things or located) stories to share with others, any details about books or movies, nothing. This makes it incredibly difficult to socialize or even be at peace in daily life. At most I can ask questions about others’ lives.

I don’t have interests anymore, and don’t feel motivation to do any self-care tasks.

I guess this can be called brain fog but it feels like cognitive decline, but I’m only 31. I know depression also causes these symptoms (I’m in a really bad depressive episode after having mania for the first time and being diagnosed with bipolar 1) but it feels like something more.

No medication helps me, I’ve tried most antidepressants, and currently on a mood stabilizer and antipsychotic that aren’t making a difference. My last depressive episode lasted 6 months and they only seem to get worse and worse. It’s torture to live this way. Please let me know if you have any advice or answers, I appreciate your time in advance.
