I am a firm believer that a healthy body and a healthy mind are connected. I think that when you are physically healthy, it makes it easier to be mentally healthy as well and vice versa. I would not say that I'm completely successful but I do try really hard to maintain that healthy balance in every aspect of my life. I work out every day, I try to get at least 7 hours of sleep per night, I try to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, I try to balance work and school with taking time to have fun. It takes work and time management but I think that I've been pretty successful. It's definitely possible.

Sorry I'm not being clear. But you did a great job in answering.
I am constantly having an episode. So for me this means extra Seroquel with an accompanying weight gain. And all my effort is on trying to shorten the length of the BP episode.
When I'm not having an episode I'm increasing my exercise and focusing on keeping my body healthy.
I just can't seem to stay on top of being healthy all over.
