It is really hard to force myself to exercise more than about 10 min. I do walk (stroll) about 20 min. 3 or 4 times/week. I love to dance but my meds have slowed me down so much, I can only handle about 10 min. of that. I do yoga in the am for stretching. I am very forgetful, short term memory is bad. Am on Depakote (for manias & seizures) & have read that can cause short term memory loss. When I am near the ocean, the sea invigorates me. But am land locked right now & that's a bummer
am better on my meds than off. HOpe things get better for you.

have you ever felt so mentally exhausted you could sleep all day?

do you ever forget things more frequently then usual like instantly forget things constantly?

ive read that creating a strict schedule for yourself can help manage mood swings along with enough sleep...im so manic sometimes i go off of 8 hours for a whole week..am i alone on that one?
