Kind of.

If I'm having symptoms, I'm always mixed. A year ago I started tracking agitation (manic) and mood (depressive) symptoms separately. That way I can keep tabs on if I'm more hypomanic or more depressed. Most people don't distinguish between the two, but it's a significant difference for me in regards to your question. I don't know if you were asking specifically about mood (happiness/sadness) or other things.

Exercise doesn't boost my mood, but it gives me more energy (agitation side). I don't feel happier after exercise, but it is easier to move around and feel calm.

Do you feel hope about your life in the future?
